Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] sched/numa: Avoid task migration for small NUMA improvement

If NUMA improvement from the task migration is going to be very
minimal, then avoid task migration.

1/7 cases is regressing, if we look at events migrate_pages seem
to vary the most especially in the regressing case. Also some
amount of variance is expected between different runs of
Specjbb2005.

Some events stats before and after applying the patch.

Changelog v1->v2:
 - Handle trivial changes due to variable name change. (Rik Van Riel)
 - Drop changes where subsequent better CPU find was rejected for
   small NUMA  improvement (Rik Van Riel).

Changelog v3->v4:
 - Refer cpu -> CPU
 - Refer numa -> NUMA
