Introduce FOLL_NUMA to tell follow_page to check pte/pmd_numa. get_user_pages must use FOLL_NUMA, and it's safe to do so because it always invokes handle_mm_fault and retries the follow_page later. KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page -> handle_mm_fault. Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page instead of get_user_pages.
