Subject: vboxhost fails to build on 3.13

When I run `dkms install vboxhost/4.3.2` it fails to build with the
following error:

It seems that numa_next_reset was removed. Using `git log -p` I think
the offending commit is this:

commit 930aa174fcc8b0efaad102fd80f677b92f35eaa2
Author: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>
Date:   Mon Oct 7 11:29:37 2013 +0100

    sched/numa: Remove the numa_balancing_scan_period_reset sysctl

    With scan rate adaptions based on whether the workload has properly
    converged or not there should be no need for the scan period reset
    hammer. Get rid of it.
