How about this:

1. prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_DEFAULT); //follow global
2. prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_DISABLE); //disable
3. prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMAB_ENABLE);  //enable
4. prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_GET_NUMAB);

PR_SET_NUMAB_DISABLE/ENABLE can always have meaning whether the
numa_balancing sysctl is disabled or not,
