sched/numa: apply the scan delay to every new vma

Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3.

The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning
suggested by Mel.  This is continuation of [3].

Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1) 

Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from
per-thread stats.  Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA
fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better.

During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance
current numa balancing.  One of the suggestion was below

Track what threads access a VMA.  The suggestion was to use an unsigned
long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads
access a VMA.  Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault.  This would be
approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas
the thread is not interested in.  The above suggestion intends not to
penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning
overhead.

V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes)

Summary of patchset:

Current patchset implements:

1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that
   additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks
   (implementation by Mel)

2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows.  It is
   regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval. 
   The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to
   balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data

3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information

4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks
   which had not accessed VMA

Changes since V2:
patch1: 
 - Renaming of structure, macro to function,
 - Add explanation to heuristics
 - Adding more details from result (PeterZ)
 Patch2:
 - Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ)
 - Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep()
 - Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan
   (PeterZ)
 Patch3:
 - Maintain two windows of access PID information
  (PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend
   to N if needed)
 Patch4:
 - Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ)

Changes since RFC V1:
 - Include Mel's vma scan delay patch
 - Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel)
 - Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel)
 - Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel)
 - Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport)

Things to ponder over:
==========================================

- Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in
  patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history)

- Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see
  frequent tries to scan.  Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve
  results further.

Results:
Summary: Huge autonuma cost reduction seen in mmtest. Kernbench improvement 
is more than 5% and huge system time (80%+) improvement from mmtest autonuma.
(dbench had huge std deviation to post)

This patch (of 4):

Currently whenever a new task is created we wait for
sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay to avoid unnessary scanning overhead. 
Extend the same logic to new or very short-lived VMAs.
