Subject: [PATCH 2/5] sched/numa: Disable sched_numa_balancing on UMA systems

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit c3b9bc5bbfc3750570d788afffd431263ef695c6 upstream.

Commit 2a1ed24 ("sched/numa: Prefer NUMA hotness over cache hotness")
sets sched feature NUMA to true. However this can enable NUMA hinting
faults on a UMA system.

This commit ensures that NUMA hinting faults occur only on a NUMA system
by setting/resetting sched_numa_balancing.

This commit:

  - Makes sched_numa_balancing common to CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG and
    !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Earlier it was only in !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.

  - Checks for sched_numa_balancing instead of sched_feat(NUMA).
