Here is try to get the times of a task accessing the local or remote pages,
and on no migration cases we still account since it's also one time of accessing,
remotely or locally.

'after page migration' means this accounting need to understand the real page
position after PF, what ever migration failure or succeed, whatever page move to
local/remote or untouched, we want to know the times a task accessed the page
locally or remotely, on numa balancing period.
