There's a fix pending in the mmotm tree that calls
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() in the slow path of the page allocator,
so if one of these tasks fails to allocate memory, its cached mems_allowed
nodemask will be updated to include the new node(s).

The patch is available at
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/cpusets-update-mems-allowed-in-page-allocator.patch
