[RFC][PATCH 02/26] mm, mpol: Remove NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: peter_zijlstra-mm-remove_numa_interleave_hit.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5125 bytes --]

Since the NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT statistic is useless on its own; it wants
to be compared to either a total of interleave allocations or to a miss
count, remove it.

Fixing it would be possible, but since we've gone years without these
statistics I figure we can continue that way.

This cleans up some of the weird MPOL_INTERLEAVE allocation exceptions.
