Subject: [PATCH 4/5] sched/numa: Convert sched_numa_balancing to a static_branch

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

commit 2a595721a1fa6b684c1c818f379bef834ac3d65e upstream.

Variable sched_numa_balancing toggles numa_balancing feature. Hence
moving from a simple read mostly variable to a more apt static_branch.
