This looks good, and I kinda like it.
But in this case, all we care about is whether NUMA node does or does
not have memory, so we have to remove/added into the demotion list.
So, would make more sense to have a kinda helper in
node_states_{set,clear}_node that calls the respective functions
(disable_all_migrate_targets and __set_migration_target_nodes)?
