autonuma: reduce cache footprint when scanning page tables

Browse Source 
In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is
true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state
already.  So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary
too.

So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid
unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of
NUMA balancing page table scanning.

In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20
read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket
Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows
that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97%
(that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.
