Note, this is still the older, open-coded version.

The newer replacement version created from Mel's patch which
reuses migrate_pages() and is nicer on out-of-node-memory
conditions and is cleaner all around can be found below.

I tested it today and it appears to work fine. I noticed no
performance improvement or performance drop from it - if it
holds up in testing it will be part of the -v17 release of
numa/core.

Thanks,

Ingo

Note: This was originally based on Peter's patch "mm/migrate: Introduce
migrate_misplaced_page()" but borrows extremely heavily from Andrea's
"autonuma: memory follows CPU algorithm and task/mm_autonuma stats
collection". The end result is barely recognisable so signed-offs
had to be dropped. If original authors are ok with it, I'll
re-add the signed-off-bys.

Add migrate_misplaced_page() which deals with migrating pages
from faults.
