Subject: [PATCH 3.11 69/94] mm: numa: Do not account for a hinting fault if we raced

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit 1dd49bfa3465756b3ce72214b58a33e4afb67aa3 upstream.

If another task handled a hinting fault in parallel then do not double
account for it.
