We are doing that in alloc_hugepage_vma by using numa_node_id(), I am
not sure whether it really matters w.r.t to the task getting preempted
and running on another node ? Even if we make it same as the node on
which the page fault happened, we could end up running on another
node. That situation is no worse than what we have today.
