From: Jagdish Gediya <jvgediya.oss@gmail.com>

Currently, a higher tier node can only be demoted to selected
nodes on the next lower tier as defined by the demotion path.
This strict, hard-coded demotion order does not work in all
use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket
demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback
when the preferred demotion node is out of space). This demotion
order is also inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order
when all the nodes in a higher tier are out of space: The page
allocation can fall back to any node from any lower tier, whereas
the demotion order doesn't allow that currently.

This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets
for a memory tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified
to utilize this allowed node mask as the fallback allocation mask.
