Srikar Dronamraju 0ee7e74dc0 sched/numa: Skip nodes that are at 'hoplimit'
When comparing two nodes at a distance of 'hoplimit', we should consider
nodes only up to 'hoplimit'. Currently we also consider nodes at 'oplimit'
distance too. Hence two nodes at a distance of 'hoplimit' will have same
groupweight. Fix this by skipping nodes at hoplimit.

While there is a regression with this change, this change is needed from a
correctness perspective. Also it helps consolidation as seen from perf bench
output.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
