Subject: [PATCH v3] mem-hotplug: alloc new page from a nearest neighbor node
 when mem-offline

If we offline a node, alloc the new page from a nearest neighbor
node instead of the current node or other remote nodes, because
re-migrate is a waste of time and the distance of the remote nodes
is often very large.

Also use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE to alloc new page if the zone is
movable zone or highmem zone.

Changelog:
V3:
	-alloc new page from a nearest neighbor node for both
	movable zone and non-movable zone
V2:
	-alloc new page from the next node for only movable zone
