I am not sure which code you are talking about. git grep shows me 2 places in 
blk-mq code (e.g. bffed457160ab) and that looks quite bogus to me. Bring that 
up with the respective maintainer and Raghavendra.
The changelog doesn't really describe any problem, if there is any. But from 
the allocator semantic point of view memory less nodes are to be expected and 
the allocator should fallback to the proper node. As long as __GFP_THISNODE is 
not enforced of course.
