Subject: [v2 PATCH 5/9] mm: vmscan: demote anon DRAM pages to PMEM node

Since PMEM provides larger capacity than DRAM and has much lower
access latency than disk, so it is a good choice to use as a middle
tier between DRAM and disk in page reclaim path.

With PMEM nodes, the demotion path of anonymous pages could be:

DRAM -> PMEM -> swap device

This patch demotes anonymous pages only for the time being and demote
THP to PMEM in a whole.  To avoid expensive page reclaim and/or
compaction on PMEM node if there is memory pressure on it, the most
conservative gfp flag is used, which would fail quickly if there is
memory pressure and just wakeup kswapd on failure.  The migrate_pages()
would split THP to migrate one by one as base page upon THP allocation
failure.

Demote pages to the cloest non-DRAM node even though the system is
swapless.  The current logic of page reclaim just scan anon LRU when
swap is on and swappiness is set properly.  Demoting to PMEM doesn't
need care whether swap is available or not.  But, reclaiming from PMEM
still skip anon LRU if swap is not available.

The demotion just happens from DRAM node to its cloest PMEM node.
Demoting to a remote PMEM node or migrating from PMEM to DRAM on reclaim
is not allowed for now.

And, define a new migration reason for demotion, called MR_DEMOTE.
Demote page via async migration to avoid blocking.
