[RESEND PATCH v1] sched/numa: Add tracepoint to track NUMA migration cost

[Jiayuan Chen]

From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>

In systems with multiple NUMA nodes, memory imbalance between nodes often
occurs.  To address this, we typically tune parameters like scan_size_mb or
scan_period_{min,max}_ms to allow processes to migrate pages between NUMA
nodes.

Currently, the migration task task_numa_work() holds the mmap_lock during
the entire migration process, which can significantly impact process
performance, especially for memory operations. This patch introduces a new
tracepoint that records the migration duration, along with the number of
scanned pages and migrated pages. These metrics can be used to calculate
efficiency metrics similar to %vmeff in 'sar -B'.

These metrics help evaluate whether the adjusted NUMA balancing parameters
are properly tuned.

Here's an example bpftrace script:
```bash

bpftrace -e '
tracepoint:sched:sched_numa_balance_start
{
    @start_time[cpu] = nsecs;
}

tracepoint:sched:sched_numa_balance_end {
    if (@start_time[cpu] > 0) {
        $cost = nsecs - @start_time[cpu];
        printf("task '%s' migrate cost %lu, scanned %lu, migrated %lu\n",
               args.comm, $cost, args.scanned, args.migrated);
    }
}
'
```
Sample output:
Attaching 2 probes...
task 'rs:main Q:Reg' migrate cost 5584655, scanned 24516, migrated 22373
task 'systemd-journal' migrate cost 123191, scanned 6308, migrated 0
task 'wrk' migrate cost 894026, scanned 5842, migrated 5841
