Thanks! However I committed a different solution. Hope you don't mind:

Subject: [PATCH] s390/numa: let NODES_SHIFT depend on NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES

Qian Cai reported:
---
When NUMA=n and nr_node_ids=2, in apply_wqattrs_prepare(), it has,

for_each_node(node) {
        if (wq_calc_node_cpumask(...

where it will trigger a booting warning,

WARNING: workqueue cpumask: online intersect > possible intersect

because it found 2 nodes and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[1] is an empty
cpumask.
---

Let NODES_SHIFT depend on NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES like it is done
on other architectures in order to fix this.
