sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness
The current load balancer may not try to prevent a task from moving
out of a preferred node to a less preferred node. The reason for this
being:
- Since sched features NUMA and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER are disabled by
default, migrate_degrades_locality() always returns false.
- Even if NUMA_RESIST_LOWER were to be enabled, if its cache hot,
migrate_degrades_locality() never gets called.
The above behaviour can mean that tasks can move out of their
preferred node but they may be eventually be brought back to their
preferred node by numa balancer (due to higher numa faults).
To avoid the above, this commit merges migrate_degrades_locality() and
migrate_improves_locality(). It also replaces 3 sched features NUMA,
NUMA_FAVOUR_HIGHER and NUMA_RESIST_LOWER by a single sched feature
NUMA.
