mm: numa: slow PTE scan rate if migration failures occur

Browse source 
Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226

  Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
  is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
  straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:

   -   56.07%    56.07%  [kernel]            [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
      - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
         - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask
            - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi
                 smp_call_function_many
               - native_flush_tlb_others
                  - 99.85% flush_tlb_page
                       ptep_clear_flush

                       rmap_walk

                       migrate_pages
                       migrate_misplaced_page
                     - handle_mm_fault
                        - 99.73% __do_page_fault
                             trace_do_page_fault
                             do_async_page_fault
                           + async_page_fault
              0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi

                 smp_call_function_single

This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled.  Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults.  However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote.  This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen.  This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.
