[PATCH] page migration reorg

Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
tinkering.  Creates a new file mm/migrate.c

1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c

2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c

3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c

4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c

5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
   and non-NUMA systems with page migration.

I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.
