AutoPage Migration - V0.1 - 3/8 generic check/notify internode migration

This patch adds the check for internode migration to be called
from scheduler load balancing, and the check for migration pending
to be called when a task returning to user space notices
'NOTIFY_PENDING.

Check for internode migration:  if scheduler driven memory migration
is enabled [sched_migrate_memory != 0] and this is a user task and the
destination cpu is on a different node from the task's current cpu,
the task will be marked for migration pending via member added to task
struct.  The TIF_NOTIFY_PENDING thread_info flag is set to cause the
task
to enter do_notify_resume[_user]() to check for migration pending.

When a task is rescheduled to user space with TIF_NOTIFY_PENDING,
it will check for migration pending, unless SIGKILL is pending.
If the task notices migration pending, it will call a
migrate_task_memory()
to migrate pages in vma's with default policy.  Only default policy
is affected by migration to a new node.

Note that we can't call migrate_task_memory() with interrupts disabled.
Temporarily enable interrupts around the call.

These checks become empty macros when 'MIGRATION' is not configured.
