Subject: [RFC V2 11/12] mm: Tag VMA with VM_CDM flag during page fault

Mark the corresponding VMA with VM_CDM flag if the allocated page happens
to be from a CDM node. This can be expensive from performance stand point.
There are multiple checks to avoid an expensive page_to_nid lookup but it
can be optimized further.
