OK. I'll try to fix it for LXC in another patch.

'interleave' with a single node(such as nodeset='0') will cause the same error.
But 'interleave' mode should not live with a single node. So maybe there's
another bugfix to check 'interleave' with single node.

If configured with 'interleave' and multiple nodes(such as nodeset='0-1'),
VM can be started successfully. And cpuset.mems is set to the same nodeset.
So I'll revise my patch.

I'll send patches V2. Conclusion:

1/3 : add check for 'interleave' mode with single numa node
2/3 : fix this problem in qemu
3/3 : fix this problem in lxc

Is it OK?
