Mel Gorman b191f9b106 mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault 
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit
and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set
the writable bit again.  This patch preserves the writable bit when
trapping NUMA hinting faults.  The impact is obvious from the number of
minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system
CPU usage;

There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair
workload

  Amean    syst-xfsrepair      277.20 (  0.00%)      204.68 ( 26.16%)

The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse.  The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse.  It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.
