sched/numa, mm: Revert to checking pmd/pte_write instead of VMA flags
Commit: 4d9424669946 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") changed NUMA balancing from _PAGE_NUMA to using PROT_NONE, and was quickly found to introduce a regression with NUMA grouping. It was followed up by these commits: 53da3bc2ba9e ("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic") bea66fbd11af ("mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags") b191f9b106ea ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault") The first of those two commits try alternate approaches to NUMA grouping, which apparently do not work as well as looking at the PTE write permissions. The latter patch preserves the PTE write permissions across a NUMA protection fault. However, it forgets to revert the condition for whether or not to group tasks together back to what it was before v3.19, even though the information is now preserved in the page tables once again. This patch brings the NUMA grouping heuristic back to what it was before commit 4d9424669946, which the changelogs of subsequent commits suggest worked best. We have all the information again. We should probably use it.
