[PATCH v8 2/2] memory tier: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info

[Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang]

The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as
CXL1.1 type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM). However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to
distinguish them. Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process
to introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes. This delay
ensures that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred
until HMAT information is obtained during the boot process. Finally,
demotion tables are recalculated at the end.

* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
`memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers. They should be excluded
in the late init.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT information.
If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the default DRAM tier.

* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist calculation
In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist nodes requires
holding the `memory_tier_lock`. However, `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up
trying to acquire the same lock, leading to a potential deadlock.
Therefore, we propose introducing a standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to
protect `default_dram_perf_*`. This approach not only avoids deadlock
but also prevents holding a large lock simultaneously.

* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
  default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.
To cover hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
`mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information is
available.

* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
  initialized by device drivers.
Because late initialized memory and default DRAM memory need to be managed,
a default memory type is created for storing all memory types that are
not initialized by device drivers and as a fallback.
