cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
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.
