Subject: [PATCH 16/36] autonuma: alloc/free/init mm_autonuma

This is where the mm_autonuma structure is being handled.

mm_autonuma holds the link for knuma_scand's list of mm structures to
scan and a pointer to the associated mm structure for knuma_scand's
convenience.

It also contains the per-mm NUMA statistics collected by knuma_scand
daemon. The per-mm NUMA statistics are needed by
sched_autonuma_balance to take appropriate NUMA balancing decision
when balancing threads belonging to different processes.

Just like task_autonuma, this is only allocated at runtime if the
hardware the kernel is running on has been detected as NUMA. On not
NUMA hardware the memory cost is reduced to one pointer per mm.

To get rid of the pointer in the each mm, the kernel can be compiled
with CONFIG_AUTONUMA=n.
