    The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its
    cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the
    page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr
    after memory_spread_page was set.  it is caused by the old mem_allowed and
    flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some
    function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late
    sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in
    time.
    
    Slab has the same problem.
    
    The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and
    spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed.
    
    This patch:
    
    Extract a function from cpuset_update_task_memory_state().  It will be
    used later for update tasks' page/slab spread flags after its cpuset's
    flag is set
