[linux-yocto] [PATCH 04/28] sched/numa: Build per numa_group active node mask from numa_faults_cpu statistics

[Yang Shi]

From: Rik van Riel <riel at redhat.com>

commit 20e07dea286a90f096a779706861472d296397c6 upstream

The numa_faults_cpu statistics are used to maintain an active_nodes nodemask
per numa_group. This allows us to be smarter about when to do numa migrations.
