Abhishek reported that after patch [1], hotplug operations are taking
roughly double the expected time. [2]
The reason behind is that the CPU callbacks that
migrate_on_reclaim_init() sets always call set_migration_target_nodes()
whenever a CPU is brought up/down.
But we only care about numa nodes going from having cpus to become
cpuless, and vice versa, as that influences the demotion_target order.
We do already have two CPU callbacks (vmstat_cpu_online() and
vmstat_cpu_dead()) that check exactly that, so get rid of the CPU
callbacks in migrate_on_reclaim_init() and only call
set_migration_target_nodes() from vmstat_cpu_{dead,online}() whenever a
numa node change its N_CPU state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
