Subject: [PATCH 60/63] mm: numa: revert temporarily disabling of NUMA migration

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>

With the scan rate code working (at least for multi-instance specjbb),
the large hammer that is "sched: Do not migrate memory immediately after
switching node" can be replaced with something smarter. Revert temporarily
migration disabling and all traces of numa_migrate_seq.
