The group info structures are long lived structures that live a long time and will likely be accessed by many NUMA nodes. So setting the men spread flag for the group info cache is more likely to be useful. My guess is that any benefit will be extremely hard to measure (especially since the amount of memory used by the group info structures is a pittance compared to the memory used by the inode cache), but at least theoretically it would be sound to have that flag set with the group info slab cache.
