Maybe we should fail this fallback if (gfp & __GFP_THISNODE) ?
Or maybe there is no support for this constraint in per-cpu allocator anyway.
I am a bit worried that we do not really know if pages are
allocated on the right node or not.
Some workloads could really be hurt if all per-cpu pages were
put on a single NUMA node.
