You are right. I was thinking about lazy approach and initialize those
values when they are used for the first time. What about the patch
below?
Change from v1:
- initialize cpuset_{mem,slab}_spread_rotor lazily

Subject: [PATCH] cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[This patch has already been accepted as 0ac0c0d but later reverted
(35926ff) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was
defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs.
This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there
are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that
the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at
node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of
the cpuset. We are initializating it lazily in cpuset_mem_spread_node
resp. cpuset_slab_spread_node.
[akpm@...ux-foundation.org: fix layout]

[mhocko@...e.cz: Make it arch independent + lazy initialization]
