I do not remember you would be mentioning this previously. Anyway the
older implementation has considered the nodemask in memcg_oom_badness.
You are right that a cpuset allocation could needlessly select a memcg
with small or no memory from the target nodemask which is something I
could have noticed during the review. If only I didn't have to spend all
my energy to go through repetitive arguments of yours. Anyway this would
be quite trivial to resolve in the same function by checking
node_isset(node, current->mems_allowed).

Thanks for your productive feedback again.

Skipping the rest which is yet again repeating same arguments and it
doesn't add anything new to the table.
