mm: numa: do not trap faults on shared data section pages.

Workloads consisting of a large number of processes running the same
program with a very large shared data segment may experience performance
problems when numa balancing attempts to migrate the shared cow pages.
This manifests itself with many processes or tasks in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state waiting for the shared pages to be migrated.

The program listed below simulates the conditions with these results
when run with 288 processes on a 144 core/8 socket machine.

Complex production environments show less variability and fewer poorly
performing outliers accompanied with a smaller number of processes
waiting on NUMA page migration with this patch applied.  In some cases,
%iowait drops from 16%-26% to 0.

This patch changes change_pte_range() to skip shared copy-on-write pages
when called from change_prot_numa().

NOTE: change_prot_numa() is nominally called from task_numa_work() and
queue_pages_test_walk().  task_numa_work() is the auto NUMA balancing
path, and queue_pages_test_walk() is part of explicit NUMA policy
management.  However, queue_pages_test_walk() only calls
change_prot_numa() when MPOL_MF_LAZY is specified and currently that is
not allowed, so change_prot_numa() is only called from auto NUMA
balancing.

In the case of explicit NUMA policy management, shared pages are not
migrated unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified, and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL
depends on CAP_SYS_NICE.  Currently, there is no way to pass information
about MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to change_pte_range.  This will have to be fixed
if MPOL_MF_LAZY is enabled and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is to be honored in lazy
migration mode.

task_numa_work() skips the read-only VMAs of programs and shared
libraries.
