ok, makes sense

fixed

Thanks! Updated patch bellow.

Changes from v3:
- code style fix
Changes from v2:
- use NUMA_NO_NODE rather than hardcoded -1
- make the patch incremental to the original one because that one is in
-mm tree already.
Changes from v1:
- initialize cpuset_{mem,slab}_spread_rotor lazily}

Subject: cpusets: initialize spread mem/slab rotor lazily

Kosaki Motohiro raised a concern that copy_process is hot path and we do
not want to initialize cpuset_{mem,slab}_spread_rotor if they are not
used most of the time.

I think that we should rather initialize it lazily when rotors are used
for the first time.
This will also catch the case when we set up spread mem/slab later.
