Bing Jiao 7ec9ecf217 mm/vmscan: select the closest preferred node in demote_folio_list()
The preferred demotion node (migration_target_control.nid) should be the
one closest to the source node to minimize migration latency.  Currently,
a discrepancy exists where demote_folio_list() randomly selects an allowed
node if the preferred node from next_demotion_node() is not set in
mems_effective.

To address it, update next_demotion_node() to select a preferred target
against allowed nodes; and to return the closest demotion target if all
preferred nodes are not in mems_effective via next_demotion_node().

It ensures that the preferred demotion target is consistently the closest
available node to the source node.
