Huang Ying a1a3a2fc30 memory tiering: skip to scan fast memory
If the NUMA balancing isn't used to optimize the page placement among
sockets but only among memory types, the hot pages in the fast memory
node couldn't be migrated (promoted) to anywhere.  So it's unnecessary
to scan the pages in the fast memory node via changing their PTE/PMD
mapping to be PROT_NONE.  So that the page faults could be avoided too.

In the test, if only the memory tiering NUMA balancing mode is enabled,
the number of the NUMA balancing hint faults for the DRAM node is
reduced to almost 0 with the patch.  While the benchmark score doesn't
change visibly.
