[PATCH] net: Avoid allocing memory on memoryless numa node

From: Xianting Tian
Date: Sun Oct 11 2020 - 00:27:33 EST


In architecture like powerpc, we can have cpus without any local memory
attached to it. In such cases the node does not have real memory.

Use local_memory_node(), which is guaranteed to have memory.
local_memory_node is a noop in other architectures that does not support
memoryless nodes.
