mm: disable NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED and TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE on PREEMPT_RT
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE: There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if khugepaged is disabled. Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used. NUMA_BALANCING: There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.

help
This option adds support for automatic NUMA aware memory/task placement.
The mechanism is quite primitive and is based on migrating memory when
