With cgroupv2 this has better effect on the resource allocation.  An
excerpt from Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst explains is this
way:

  Migrating a process across cgroups is a relatively expensive operation
  and stateful resources such as memory are not moved together with the
  process.  This is an explicit design decision as there often exist
  inherent trade-offs between migration and various hot paths in terms
  of synchronization cost.

  [...]

  Setting a non-empty value to "cpuset.mems" causes memory of
  tasks within the cgroup to be migrated to the designated nodes if
  they are currently using memory outside of the designated nodes.
