kernel/kthread.c:kthread_create_on_node(): clarify documentation
- Make it clear that the `node' arg refers to memory allocations only: kthread_create_on_node() does not pin the new thread to that node's CPUs. - Encourage the use of NUMA_NO_NODE. [nzimmer@sgi.com: use NUMA_NO_NODE in kthread_create() also] Cc: Nathan Zimmer <nzimmer@sgi.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
