Subject: [PATCH -V9 5/6] memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughput

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, the hot slow memory pages could
be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing.  But this
incurs some overhead too.  So that sometimes the workload performance
may be hurt.  To avoid too much disturbing to the workload in these
situations, we should make it possible to rate limit the promotion
throughput.

So, in this patch, we implement a simple rate limit algorithm as
follows.  The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast
memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the
limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be
stopped until the next second.

A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_rate_limit_mbps is added for
the users to specify the limit.

TODO: Add ABI document for new sysctl knob.
