This is agains mm/mm-unstable, but everything except patch #7 and #8
should apply on current master. Especially patch #1 and #2 should go
upstream first, so we can let the other stuff mature a bit longer.
Next attempt to handle the fallout of 474098edac26
("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()") where I
accidentially missed that follow_page() and smaps implicitly kept the
FOLL_NUMA flag clear by not setting it if FOLL_FORCE is absent, to
not trigger faults on PROT_NONE-mapped PTEs.
Patch #1 fixes the known issues by reintroducing FOLL_NUMA as
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT and decoupling it from FOLL_FORCE.
Patch #2 is a cleanup that I think actually fixes some corner cases, so
I added a Fixes: tag.
Patch #3 makes KVM explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in the single
case where it is required, and documents the situation.
Patch #4 then stops implicitly setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. But note that
for FOLL_WRITE we always implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults.
Patch #5 and patch #6 cleanup some comments.
Patch #7 improves the KVM functional tests such that patch #8 can
actually check for one of the known issues: KSM no longer working on
PROT_NONE mappings on x86-64 with CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.
