Subject: [PATCH 45/63] mm: numa: copy cpupid on page migration

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

After page migration, the new page has the nidpid unset. This makes
every fault on a recently migrated page look like a first numa fault,
leading to another page migration.

Copying over the nidpid at page migration time should prevent erroneous
migrations of recently migrated pages.
