[PATCH] sched/numa, mm: Skip page promotion if cpu pid is valid

[Donet Tom]

If memory tiering is disabled, cpupid of slow memory pages may
contain a valid CPU and PID. If tiering is enabled at runtime,
there is a chance that in should_numa_migrate_memory(), this
valid CPU/PID is treated as a last access timestamp, leading
to unnecessary promotion.

Prevent this by skipping promotion when cpupid is valid.
