memory tiering can be enabled/disabled at runtime and

The should be in advance of patch2, and change above to use
folio_has_cpupid() helper() too.

It shares the same logic of !folio_has_cpupid() but it might be confusing to
put !folio_has_cpupid(folio) && node_is_toptier(node) here. folio's
cpupid has nothing to do with the stats here, thus I did not use the
function.

If folio don't include access time, we do migrate it but it isn't a promotion, so don't count it, other comments?

PS: Could we rename folio_has_cpupid() to folio_has_access_time(), even without memory_tiering, we still have cpupid in folio, right?
