Subject: [PATCH 4.19 046/361] x86/numa_emulation: Fix uniform-split numa emulation

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

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

From: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@...el.com>

commit c6ee7a548e2c291398b4f32c1f741c66b9f98e1c upstream.

The numa_emulation() routine in the 'uniform' case walks through all the
physical 'memblk' instances and divides them into N emulated nodes with
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform(). As each physical node is consumed it
is removed from the physical memblk array in the numa_remove_memblk_from()
helper.

Since split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() handles advancing the array as
the 'memblk' is consumed it is expected that the base of the array is
always specified as the argument.

Otherwise, on multi-socket (> 2) configurations the uniform-split
capability can generate an invalid numa configuration leading to boot
failures with signatures like the following:

    rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
    Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 2:
    NMI backtrace for cpu 2
    CPU: 2 PID: 1332 Comm: pgdatinit0 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc8-next-20181019-baseline #59
