arge page just to
return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of
vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint.

This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator.  Given
processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find
fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the
same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted.

This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less
address space for the first chunk.  For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine,
the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk
while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.

[ Impact: much better space efficiency on NUMA machines ]
