Subject: [RFC PATCH] sched/numa: fix bug in update_task_scan_period

When p->numa_faults_locality[2] > 0, numa_scan_period is doubled, but
this array will never be cleared, which causes scanning period always
reaching its max value. This patch clears numa_faults_locality after
numa_scan_period being doubled to fix this bug.
