Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] mm: demotion: Add support to set targets from userspace

Add support to set node_states[N_DEMOTION_TARGETS] from
user space to override the default demotion targets.

Restrict demotion targets to memory only numa nodes
while setting them from user space.

Demotion targets can be set from userspace using command,
echo <nodelist> > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_target

+Description:	Configure demotion target nodes
+
+		Page migration during reclaim is intended for systems
+		with tiered memory configurations. Preferred migration target
+		nodes can be configured in a system using this interface, based
+		on which demotion table is prepared in kernel. If demotion is
+		enabled then pages will be migrated to set demotion targets
+		during reclaim.
