Note: This was originally based on Peter's patch "mm/migrate: Introduce
migrate_misplaced_page()" but borrows extremely heavily from Andrea's
"autonuma: memory follows CPU algorithm and task/mm_autonuma stats
collection". The end result is barely recognisable so signed-offs
had to be dropped. If original authors are ok with it, I'll
re-add the signed-off-bys.
Add migrate_misplaced_page() which deals with migrating pages from
faults.

That's a nice patch - the TASK_NUMA_FAULT approach in the
original patch was not very elegant.
I've started testing it to see how well your version works.
Hm, I'm seeing some instability - see the boot crash below. If I
undo your patch it goes away.
( To help debugging this I've attached migration.patch which
applies your patch on top of Peter's latest queue of patches.
If I revert this patch then the crash goes away. )
I've gone back to the well-tested page migration code from Peter
for the time being.
Is there a place we can see your code?
Peter's patch with MIGRATE_FAULT is very much NAKed, so
this approach does need to be made to work...
You can either make the working tree public somewhere,
so we can help, or figure it out yourself. Your choice :)
