mm: add numa node symlink for memory section in sysfs
Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g. /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but it's a little cumbersome. Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the node to which it belongs.
