[RFC PATCH] fs/exec: Add the support for ELF program's NUMA replication

[Huang Shijie]

This patch adds AT_NUMA_REPLICATION for execveat().

If this flag is set, the kernel will trigger COW(copy on write)
on the mmapped ELF binary. So the program will have a copied-page
on its NUMA node, even if the original page in page cache is
on other NUMA nodes.
