Subject: [PATCH 2/3] sched/fair: Move task_numa_work() init to init_numa_balancing()

We only need to set the callback_head worker function once, do it
during sched_fork().

While at it, move the comment regarding double task_work addition to
init_numa_balancing(), since the double add sentinel is first set there.
