Subject: mm,migrate: fix establishing demotion target

In commit ac16ec835314 ("mm: migrate: support multiple target nodes
demotion"), after the first demotion target node is found, we will
continue to check the next candidate obtained via find_next_best_node(). 
This is to find all demotion target nodes with same NUMA distance.  But
one side effect of find_next_best_node() is that the candidate node
returned will be set in "used" parameter, even if the candidate node isn't
passed in the following NUMA distance checking, the candidate node will
not be used as demotion target node for the following nodes.  For example,
for system as follows,

node distances:
node   0   1   2   3
  0:  10  21  17  28
  1:  21  10  28  17
  2:  17  28  10  28
  3:  28  17  28  10

when we establish demotion target node for node 0, in the first round node
2 is added to the demotion target node set.  Then in the second round,
node 3 is checked and failed because distance(0, 3) > distance(0, 2).  But
node 3 is set in "used" nodemask too.  When we establish demotion target
node for node 1, there is no available node.  This is wrong, node 3 should
be set as the demotion target of node 1.

To fix this, if the candidate node is failed to pass the distance
checking, it will be cleared in "used" nodemask.  So that it can be used
for the following node.

The bug can be reproduced and fixed with this patch on a 2 socket server
machine with DRAM and PMEM.
