Subject: [PATCH 3.13 063/120] mm: numa: initialise numa balancing after jump label initialisation

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit c297663c0b3930491a3cb2aba4b6e5a7159c3503 upstream.

The command line parsing takes place before jump labels are initialised
which generates a warning if numa_balancing= is specified and
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set.

On older kernels before commit c4b2c0c5f647 ("static_key: WARN on usage
before jump_label_init was called") the kernel would have crashed.  This
patch enables automatic numa balancing later in the initialisation
process if numa_balancing= is specified.
