>>> cpuset_inherit case fails on 4 numa nodes pc, as below:
>>> cpuset_inherit 1 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 3 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 5 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 7 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 9 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 11 TPASS: cpus: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 13 TPASS: mems: Inherited information is right!

>>> cpuset_inherit 17 TPASS: mems: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 19 TPASS: mems: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 21 TPASS: mems: Inherited information is right!
>>> cpuset_inherit 23 TFAIL: mems: Test result - 0-3 Expected string - "4"

Yes, I will create a issue to avoid we forget this.
