[PATCH] mm, numa: Do not group on RO pages

Subject: mm, numa: Do not group on RO pages
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Aug 2 18:38:34 CEST 2013

And here's a little something to make sure not the whole world ends up
in a single group.

As while we don't migrate shared executable pages, we do scan/fault on
them. And since everybody links to libc, everybody ends up in the same
group.
