No, I don't think so.

Per my understanding, kswapd_cpu_online() will be invoked when a cpu is
onlined. And the particular cpu belongs to a particular numa node. So it is
not necessary to iterate on every nodes.

And current code use cpumask_and_any() to do the check. If my understanding is
correct, the check would return true if this node has any online cpu. This is
likely to be true.

This is why I want to make the logic clear.
