[PATCH] mm/vmscan: respect cpuset policy during page demotion

In page reclaim path, memory could be demoted from faster memory tier
to slower memory tier. Currently, there is no check about cpuset's
memory policy, that even if the target demotion node is not allowd
by cpuset, the demotion will still happen, which breaks the cpuset
semantics.

So add cpuset policy check in the demotion path and skip demotion
if the demotion targets are not allowed by cpuset.

Hi reviewers,

For easy bisectable, I combined the cpuset change and mm change
in one patch, if you prefer to separate them, I can turn it into
2 patches.

Thanks,
Feng
