Subject: [PATCH] Assign CPUs to nodes in round-robin manner on Fake NUMA.

Assign CPUs to nodes in round-robin manner on Fake NUMA.

commit d9c2d5ac6af87b4491bff107113aaf16f6c2b2d9
"x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA"
changed NUMA initialization on Intel to choose the nearest online node or
first node. Fake NUMA would be better of with round-robin initialization,
instead of the all CPUS on first node. Change the choice of first node, back
to round-robin.
