Huang Ying c6833e1000 memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughput
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible.  But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.

A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput.  It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting.  But
the workload latency will be better.  This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.

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_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.
