mm: NUMA aware alloc_task_struct_node()

All kthreads being created from a single helper task, they all use memory
from a single node for their kernel stack and task struct.

This patch suite creates kthread_create_on_cpu(), adding a 'cpu' parameter
to parameters already used by kthread_create().

This parameter serves in allocating memory for the new kthread on its
memory node if available.

Users of this new function are : ksoftirqd, kworker, migration, pktgend...

This patch:

Add a node parameter to alloc_task_struct(), and change its name to
alloc_task_struct_node()

This change is needed to allow NUMA aware kthread_create_on_cpu()
