Subject: mm: move change_prot_numa outside CONFIG_ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE
change_prot_numa should work even if _PAGE_NUMA != _PAGE_PROTNONE. On
archs like ppc64 that don't use _PAGE_PROTNONE and also have a separate
page table outside linux pagetable, we just need to make sure that when
calling change_prot_numa we flush the hardware page table entry so that
next page access result in a numa fault.
We still need to make sure we use the numa faulting logic only when
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This implies the migrate-on-fault (Lazy
migration) via mbind will only work if CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.
