Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] memory tiering: read last_cpupid correctly in do_huge_pmd_numa_page()

From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>

last_cpupid is only available when memory tiering is off or the folio
is in toptier node. Complete the check to read last_cpupid when it is
available.

Before the fix, the default last_cpupid will be used even if memory
tiering mode is turned off at runtime instead of the actual value. This
can prevent task_numa_fault() from getting right numa fault stats, but
should not cause any crash. User might see performance changes after the
fix.

Fixes: 33024536bafd ("memory tiering: hot page selection with hint page fault latency")
