[RFC PATCH 4/5] mm, page alloc: build fallback list on per node type basis

From: Fan Du
Date: Wed Apr 24 2019 - 21:42:53 EST


On box with both DRAM and PMEM managed by mm system,
Usually node 0, 1 are DRAM nodes, nodes 2, 3 are PMEM nodes.
nofallback list are same as before, fallback list are not
redesigned to be arranged by node type basis, iow,
allocation request of DRAM page start from node 0 will go
through node0->node1->node2->node3 zonelists.
