CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, CONFIG_COMPACTION and CONFIG_CMA all select
CONFIG_MIGRATION, because they require it to work (users).
Only CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING and CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION is not an actual user, but an
implementation of migration support, so the dependency is correct
(CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION does not make any sense without
CONFIG_MIGRATION).
However, kconfig-language.rst clearly states "In general use select only
for non-visible symbols". So far CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible ...
and the dependencies rather confusing.
The whole reason why CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible is because of
CONFIG_NUMA: some users might want CONFIG_NUMA but not page migration
support.
Let's clean all that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION
config option for that purpose only. Make CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING that so
far depended on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MIGRATION to depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION instead. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION will depend on
CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MMU.
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is user-visible and will default to "y". We use
that default so new configs will automatically enable it, just like it was
the case with CONFIG_MIGRATION. The downside is that some configs that
used to have CONFIG_MIGRATION=n might get it re-enabled by
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=y, which shouldn't be a problem.
CONFIG_MIGRATION is now a non-visible config option. Any code that select
CONFIG_MIGRATION (as before) must depend directly or indirectly on
CONFIG_MMU.
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is responsible for any NUMA migration code, which is
mempolicy migration code, memory-tiering code, and move_pages() code in
migrate.c. CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING uses its functionality.
Note that this implies that with CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=n, move_pages()
will not be available even though CONFIG_MIGRATION=y, which is an expected
change.
In migrate.c, we can remove the CONFIG_NUMA check as both
CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depend on it.
With this change, CONFIG_MIGRATION is an internal config, all users of
migration selects CONFIG_MIGRATION, and only CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION
depends on it.
