From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

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 pagee is dirty.

A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail.  This essentally 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.

Note: This just adds the start of infratructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

changes from 20210122:
 * move from GFP_HIGHUSER -> GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE (Ying)

changes from 202010:
 * add MR_NUMA_MISPLACED to trace MIGRATE_REASON define
 * make migrate_demote_page_ok() static, remove 'sc' arg until
   later patch
 * remove unnecessary alloc_demote_page() hugetlb warning
 * Simplify alloc_demote_page() gfp mask.  Depend on
   __GFP_NORETRY to make it lightweight instead of fancier
   stuff like leaving out __GFP_IO/FS.
 * Allocate migration page with alloc_migration_target()
   instead of allocating directly.
changes from 20200730:
 * Add another pass through shrink_page_list() when demotion
   fails.
