We have some machines with multiple memory types like below, which
have one fast (DRAM) memory node and two slow (persistent memory) memory
nodes. According to current node demotion policy, if node 0 fills up,
its memory should be migrated to node 1, when node 1 fills up, its
memory will be migrated to node 2: node 0 -> node 1 -> node 2 ->stop.
But this is not efficient and suitbale memory migration route
for our machine with multiple slow memory nodes. Since the distance
between node 0 to node 1 and node 0 to node 2 is equal, and memory
migration between slow memory nodes will increase persistent memory
bandwidth greatly, which will hurt the whole system's performance.
Thus for this case, we can treat the slow memory node 1 and node 2
as a whole slow memory region, and we should migrate memory from
node 0 to node 1 and node 2 if node 0 fills up.
This patch changes the node_demotion data structure to support multiple
target nodes, and establishes the migration path to support multiple
target nodes with validating if the node distance is the best or not.
