Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/5] mm/mmu_notifier: introduce a new mmu notifier flag MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_NUMA

Introduce a new mmu notifier flag MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_NUMA to indicate the
notification of MMU_NOTIFY_PROTECTION_VMA is for NUMA balance purpose
specifically.

So that, the subscriber of mmu notifier, like KVM, can recognize this
type of notification and do numa protection specific operations in the
handler.
