[PATCH 10/10] sched: Refine the 'shared tasks' memory interleaving logic

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>]

Change the adaptive memory policy code to take a majority of buddies
on a node into account. Previously, since this commit:

  "sched: Track shared task's node groups and interleave their memory allocations"

We'd include any node that has run a buddy in the past, which was too
aggressive and spread the allocations of 'mostly converged' workloads
too much, and prevented their further convergence.

Add a few other variants for testing:

  NUMA_POLICY_ADAPTIVE:		use memory on every node that runs a buddy of this task

  NUMA_POLICY_SYSWIDE:		use a simple, static, system-wide mask

  NUMA_POLICY_MAXNODE:		use memory on this task's 'maximum node'

  NUMA_POLICY_MAXBUDDIES:	use memory on the node with the most buddies

  NUMA_POLICY_MANYBUDDIES:	this is the default, a quorum of buddies
				determines the allocation mask

The 'many buddies' quorum logic appears to work best in practice,
but the 'maxnode' and 'syswide' ones are good, robust policies too.
