sched/numa: Limit the conditions where scan period is reset
migrate_task_rq_fair() resets the scan rate for NUMA balancing on every
cross-node migration. In the event of excessive load balancing due to
saturation, this may result in the scan rate being pegged at maximum and
further overloading the machine.
This patch only resets the scan if NUMA balancing is active, a preferred
node has been selected and the task is being migrated from the preferred
node as these are the most harmful. For example, a migration to the preferred
node does not justify a faster scan rate. Similarly, a migration between two
nodes that are not preferred is probably bouncing due to over-saturation of
the machine. In that case, scanning faster and trapping more NUMA faults
will further overload the machine.
