Do we really want to have the preferred node to be always the first node
in the node mask? Shouldn't that strive for a locality as well? Existing
callers already prefer numa_node_id() - aka local node - and I belive we
shouldn't just throw that away here.

Similarly here but I am not really familiar with the slab numa code
enough to have strong opinions here.

Same here.

I do not follow what is the point of using first_node here. Either the
node is in the mask or it is misplaced. What are you trying to achieve
here?
