Subject: [PATCH 02/10] sched: Move the NUMA placement logic to a worklet

As an implementational detail, to be able to do directed task placement
we have to change how task_numa_fault() interfaces with the scheduler:
instead of the placement logic being executed directly from the fault
path we now trigger a worklet, similarly to how we do the NUMA
hinting fault work.

This moves placement into process context and allows the execution of the
directed task-flipping code via sched_rebalance_to().

This further decouples the NUMA hinting fault engine from
the actual NUMA placement logic.
