From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes
with a user defined node migration table. This allows creating single
migration target for each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA
page migrations instead of simply reclaiming colder pages. A node
with no target is a "terminal node", so reclaim acts normally there.
The migration target does not fundamentally _need_ to be a single node,
but this implementation starts there to limit complexity.
If you consider the migration path as a graph, cycles (loops) in the
graph are disallowed. This avoids wasting resources by constantly
migrating (A->B, B->A, A->B ...). The expectation is that cycles will
never be allowed.

changes since 20200122:
* Make node_demotion[] __read_mostly
changes in July 2020:
- Remove loop from next_demotion_node() and get_online_mems().
This means that the node returned by next_demotion_node()
might now be offline, but the worst case is that the
allocation fails. That's fine since it is transient.
