kthread: ensure locality of task_struct allocations

Browse source 
In the presence of memoryless nodes, numa_node_id() will return the
current CPU's NUMA node, but that may not be where we expect to allocate
from memory from.  Instead, we should rely on the fallback code in the
memory allocator itself, by using NUMA_NO_NODE.  Also, when calling
kthread_create_on_node(), use the nearest node with memory to the cpu in
question, rather than the node it is running on.
