From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If tree_page has been migrated to another NUMA node and across_nodes disabled, flush it out immediately and it will be put in the right unstable tree when next time. The good point is that we can retry to insert our rmap_item successfully to increase the merge possibility, and we don't need to bother to memcmp_pages() in this case.
