From: Kaiyang Zhao <kaiyang2@cs.cmu.edu>

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on either NUMA machines or machines
equipped with tiered memory.

Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.

For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter
memory accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions,
potentially depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such
an extent that its performance degrades unacceptably.

For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.

This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.

count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Signed-off-by: Kaiyang Zhao <kaiyang2@cs.cmu.edu>

v3:
- added pgpromote_success as suggested by Wei Xu

v2:
- fixed compilation error when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is off
- fixed doc warning due to missing parameter description in
get_mem_cgroup_from_folio
