commit e2d18cbf178775ad377ad88ee55e6e183c38d262 upstream.
The slab allocator observes the task's NUMA policy in various places such as allocating slab pages. Large kmalloc() allocations used to do that too, until an unintended change by c4cab557521a ("mm/slab_common: cleanup kmalloc_large()") resulted in ignoring mempolicy and just preferring the local node. Restore the NUMA policy support.
