From: Rik van Riel <r...@redhat.com>
After page migration, the new page has the nidpid unset. This makes
every fault on a recently migrated page look like a first numa fault,
leading to another page migration.
Copying over the nidpid at page migration time should prevent erroneous
migrations of recently migrated pages.
