[RFC PATCH 0/4] Automatic NUMA balancing and PROT_NONE handling followup v2r8

[Mel Gorman]

Dave Chinner reported a problem due to excessive NUMA balancing activity
and bisected it. The first patch in this series corrects a major problem
that is unlikely to affect Dave but is still serious. Patch 2 is a minor
cleanup that was spotted while looking at scan rate control. Patch 3 is
minor and unlikely to make a difference but is still an inconsistentcy
between base and THP handling. Patch 4 is the important one, it slows
PTE scan updates if migrations are failing or throttled. Details of the
performance impact on local tests is included in the patch.
