Because test6 verify that hugepage + cpuset works well, so if we only use
1 node for testing, the allocated hugepage will always happen on that node.
Then we would lose the chance to find bug that there possibly allocated
from other nodes when setting the cpuset.

So this test needs at least two NUMA nodes.
