cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.
