Subject: [RFC V2 09/12] mm: Exclude CDM marked VMAs from auto NUMA

Kernel cannot track device memory accesses behind VMAs containing CDM
memory. Hence all the VM_CDM marked VMAs should not be part of the auto
NUMA migration scheme. This patch also adds a new function is_cdm_vma()
to detect any VMA marked with flag VM_CDM.
