sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the CPU at the same time
Task migration under NUMA balancing can happen in parallel. More than one task might choose to migrate to the same CPU at the same time. This can result in: - During task swap, choosing a task that was not part of the evaluation. - During task swap, task which just got moved into its preferred node, moving to a completely different node. - During task swap, task failing to move to the preferred node, will have to wait an extra interval for the next migrate opportunity. - During task movement, multiple task movements can cause load imbalance. This problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more nodes in the system. Use a per run-queue variable to check if NUMA-balance is active on the run-queue.
