page allocator: do not setup zonelist cache when there is only one node
There is a zonelist cache which is used to track zones that are not in the allowed cpuset or found to be recently full. This is to reduce cache footprint on large machines. On smaller machines, it just incurs cost for no gain. This patch only uses the zonelist cache when there are NUMA nodes.
