Subject: [PATCH 40/52] sched: Add "task flipping" support
NUMA balancing will make use of the new sched_rebalance_to() mode:
the ability to 'flip' two tasks.
When two tasks have a similar weight but one of them executes on
the wrong CPU or node, then it's beneficial to do a quick flipping
operation. This will not change the general load of the source
and the target CPUs, so it won't disturb the scheduling balance.
With this we can do NUMA placement while the system is otherwise
in equilibrium.
The code has to be careful about races and whether the source and
target CPUs are allowed for the tasks in question.
This method is also faster: it can execute two migrations via one
migration-thread call in essence - instead of two such calls. The
thread on the target CPU acts as the 'migration thread' for the
replaced task.
