Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] numa: introduce numa cling feature

Although we paid so many effort to settle down task on a particular
node, there are still chances for a task to leave it's preferred
node, that is by wakeup, numa swap migrations or load balance.

When we are using cpu cgroup in share way, since all the workloads
see all the cpus, it could be really bad especially when there
are too many fast wakeup, although now we can numa group the tasks,
they won't really stay on the same node, for example we have numa
group ng_A, ng_B, ng_C, ng_D, it's very likely result as:

	CPU Usage:
		Node 0		Node 1
		ng_A(600%)	ng_A(400%)
		ng_B(400%)	ng_B(600%)
		ng_C(400%)	ng_C(600%)
		ng_D(600%)	ng_D(400%)

	Memory Ratio:
		Node 0		Node 1
		ng_A(60%)	ng_A(40%)
		ng_B(40%)	ng_B(60%)
		ng_C(40%)	ng_C(60%)
		ng_D(60%)	ng_D(40%)

Locality won't be too bad but far from the best situation, we want
a numa group to settle down thoroughly on a particular node, with
every thing balanced.

Thus we introduce the numa cling, which try to prevent tasks leaving
the preferred node on wakeup fast path.

This help thoroughly settle down the workloads on single node, but when
multiple numa group try to settle down on the same node, unbalancing
could happen.

For example we have numa group ng_A, ng_B, ng_C, ng_D, it may result in
situation like:

CPU Usage:
	Node 0		Node 1
	ng_A(1000%)	ng_B(1000%)
	ng_C(400%)	ng_C(600%)
	ng_D(400%)	ng_D(600%)

Memory Ratio:
	Node 0		Node 1
	ng_A(100%)	ng_B(100%)
	ng_C(10%)	ng_C(90%)
	ng_D(10%)	ng_D(90%)

This is because when ng_C, ng_D start to have most of the memory on node
1 at some point, task_x of ng_C stay on node 0 will try to do numa swap
migration with the task_y of ng_D stay on node 1 as long as load balanced,
the result is task_x stay on node 1 and task_y stay on node 0, while both
of them prefer node 1.

Now when other tasks of ng_D stay on node 1 wakeup task_y, task_y will
very likely go back to node 1, and since numa cling enabled, it will
keep stay on node 1 although load unbalanced, this could be frequently
and more and more tasks will prefer the node 1 and make it busy.

So the key point here is to stop doing numa cling when load starting to
become unbalancing.

We achieved this by monitoring the migration failure ratio, in scenery
above, too much tasks prefer node 1 and will keep migrating to it, load
unbalancing could lead into the migration failure in this case, and when
the failure ratio above the specified degree, we pause the cling and try
to resettle the workloads on a better node by stop tasks prefer the busy
node, this will finally give us the result like:

CPU Usage:
	Node 0		Node 1
	ng_A(1000%)	ng_B(1000%)
	ng_C(1000%)	ng_D(1000%)

Memory Ratio:
	Node 0		Node 1
	ng_A(100%)	ng_B(100%)
	ng_C(100%)	ng_D(100%)

Now we achieved the best locality and maximum hot cache benefit.

Tested on a 2 node box with 96 cpus, do sysbench-mysql-oltp_read_write
testing, X mysqld instances created and attached to X cgroups, X sysbench
instances then created and attached to corresponding cgroup to test the
mysql with oltp_read_write script for 20 minutes, average eps show:

				origin		ng + cling
4 instances each 24 threads	7545.28		7790.49		+3.25%
4 instances each 48 threads	9359.36		9832.30		+5.05%
4 instances each 72 threads	9602.88		10196.95	+6.19%

8 instances each 24 threads	4478.82		4508.82		+0.67%
8 instances each 48 threads	5514.90		5689.93		+3.17%
8 instances each 72 threads	5582.19		5741.33		+2.85%

Also tested with perf-bench-numa, dbench, sysbench-memory, pgbench, tiny
improvement observed.
