[RFC] mm/migrate: Add new migration reason MR_HUGETLB

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Jan 29 2018 - 22:07:29 EST


alloc_contig_range() initiates compaction and eventual migration for
the purpose of either CMA or HugeTLB allocation. At present, reason
code remains the same MR_CMA for either of those cases. Lets add a
new reason code which will differentiate the purpose of migration
as HugeTLB allocation instead.
