Ever since the feature was introduced with commit 0f8e7ae33a,
it has contained a logic error in that it attempted to use a NUMA
node map where a CPU map was expected.
Because of that, guests using <numatune> might fail to start:
# virsh start guest
error: Failed to start domain guest
error: cannot set CPU affinity on process 40055: Invalid argument
This was particularly easy to trigger on POWER 8 machines, where
secondary threads always show up as offline in the host: having
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' placement='static' nodeset='1'/>
</numatune>
in the guest configuration, for example, would result in libvirt
trying to set the process affinity so that it would prefer
running on CPU 1, but since that's a secondary thread and thus
shows up as offline, the operation would fail, and so would
starting the guest.
Use the newly introduced virNumaNodesetToCPUset() to convert the
NUMA node map to a CPU map, which in the example above would be
48,56,64,72,80,88 - a valid input for virProcessSetAffinity().
