Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/khugepaged: sched to numa node when collapse huge page

collapse huge page will copy huge page from general small pages,
dest node is calculated from most one of source pages, however
THP daemon is not scheduled on dest node. The performance may be
poor since huge page copying across nodes, also cache is not used
for target node. With this patch, khugepaged daemon switches to
the same numa node with huge page. It saves copying time and makes
use of local cache better.

With this patch, specint 2006 base performance is improved with 6%
on Loongson 3C5000L platform with 32 cores and 8 numa nodes.

V2: remove node record for thp daemon
