sched/numa: Init numa balancing fields of init_task
We do not initialize init_task.numa_preferred_nid, but this value is inherited by userspace "init" process: rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init)->do_fork(CLONE_VM); __sched_fork() { if (clone_flags & CLONE_VM) p->numa_preferred_nid = current->numa_preferred_nid; else p->numa_preferred_nid = -1; } kernel_init() becomes userspace "init" process. So, we propagate garbage nid to userspace, and it may be used during numa balancing. Currently, we do not have reports about this brings a problem, but it seem we should set it for sure. Even if init_task.numa_preferred_nid is zero, we may meet a weird configuration without nid#0. On sparc64, where processors are numbered physically, I saw a machine without cpu#1, while cpu#2 existed. Possible, something similar may be with numa nodes. So, let's initialize it and be sure we're safe.
