Subject: [RFC 2/4] mm/cpuset: Exclude coherent device memory nodes from mems_allowed

Task's mems_allowed decides the final node mask of nodes from which memory
can be allocated irrespective of the process or VMA based memory policy.
Coherent device memory nodes should not be used for any user space memory
allocation, hence they should not be part of any mems_allowed mask in user
space to begin with. This adds a new function system_ram() which computes
system RAM only node mask and excludes all the coherent memory nodes on the
platform. This resultant system RAM node mask is used instead of N_MEMORY
node mask during cpuset update and mems_allowed initialization. It achieves
isolation of the coherent device memory node from userspace allocations.
