Just squash these 2 together. The -stable maintainers continue to assert
that fixes should do the right thing by mainline mainline standards and
let the -stable backport process decide if a different change needs to
be made for older kernels. I see no benefit for tracking 2 changes for
how numa_fill_memblks() is defined.
