Subject: [PATCH 3/7] mm: page_alloc: Use zone node IDs to approximate locality

zone_local is using node_distance which is a more expensive call than
necessary. On x86, it's another function call in the allocator fast path
and increases cache footprint. This patch makes the assumption zones on a
local node will share the same node ID. The necessary information should
already be cache hot.
