mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim
This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/
Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data to
another NUMA node instead of discarding the data. This always avoids the
cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes avoids the
writeout cost when the page is dirty.
A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail. This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the case
that demotions fail. Previous versions of this patch may have simply
failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but were unable
to be demoted in practice.
For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always discarded
instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition. Because
MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless in which
tier they are.
Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().
