[PATCH 15/36] autonuma: alloc/free/init task_autonuma

[Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is where the dynamically allocated task_autonuma structure is
being handled.

This is the structure holding the per-thread NUMA statistics generated
by the NUMA hinting page faults. This per-thread NUMA statistical
information is needed by sched_autonuma_balance to make optimal NUMA
balancing decisions.

It also contains the task_selected_nid which hints the stock CPU
scheduler on the best NUMA node to schedule this thread on (as decided
by sched_autonuma_balance).

The reason for keeping this outside of the task_struct besides not
using too much kernel stack, is to only allocate it on NUMA
hardware. So the non NUMA hardware only pays the memory of a pointer
in the kernel stack (which remains NULL at all times in that case).

If the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_AUTONUMA=n, not even the pointer
is allocated on the kernel stack of course.
