Subject: [PATCH] sched/numa: Move task_numa_placement() closer to
 numa_migrate_preferred()

References: bnc#1101669 optimise numa balancing for fast migrate
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
Git-commit: b6a60cf36d497e7fbde9dd5b86fabd96850249f6

numa_migrate_preferred() is called periodically or when task preferred
node changes. Preferred node evaluations happen once per scan sequence.

If the scan completion happens just after the periodic NUMA migration,
then we try to migrate to the preferred node and the preferred node might
change, needing another node migration.

Avoid this by checking for scan sequence completion only when checking
for periodic migration.
