Introduce four new variants of the async_schedule_ functions that allow scheduling on a specific NUMA node. The first two functions are async_schedule_near and async_schedule_near_domain end up mapping to async_schedule and async_schedule_domain, but provide NUMA node specific functionality. They replace the original functions which were moved to inline function definitions that call the new functions while passing NUMA_NO_NODE. The second two functions are async_schedule_dev and async_schedule_dev_domain which provide NUMA specific functionality when passing a device as the data member and that device has a NUMA node other than NUMA_NO_NODE. The main motivation behind this is to address the need to be able to schedule device specific init work on specific NUMA nodes in order to improve performance of memory initialization. I have seen a significant improvement in initialziation time for persistent memory as a result of this approach. In the case of 3TB of memory on a single node the initialization time in the worst case went from 36s down to about 26s for a 10s improvement. As such the data shows a general benefit for affinitizing the async work to the node local to the device.

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.
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.
