[RFC][PATCH v2 08/21] mm: introduce and export pgdat peer_node

[Fengguang Wu]

From: Fan Du <fan.du@xxxxxxxxx>

Each CPU socket can have 1 DRAM and 1 PMEM node, we call them "peer nodes".
Migration between DRAM and PMEM will by default happen between peer nodes.

It's a temp solution. In multiple memory layers, a node can have both
promotion and demotion targets instead of a single peer node. User space
may also be able to infer promotion/demotion targets based on future
HMAT info.
