Subject: [PATCH V2 2/3] sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning logic

 During the Numa scanning make sure only relevant vmas of the
tasks are scanned.

Before:
 All the tasks of a process participate in scanning the vma
even if they do not access vma in it's lifespan.

Now:
 Except cases of first few unconditional scans, if a process do
not touch vma (exluding false positive cases of PID collisions)
tasks no longer scan all vma.

Logic used:
1) 6 bits of PID used to mark active bit in vma numab status during
 fault to remember PIDs accessing vma. (Thanks Mel)

2) Subsequently in scan path, vma scanning is skipped if current PID
had not accessed vma.

3) First two times we do allow unconditional scan to preserve earlier
 behaviour of scanning.

Acknowledgement to Bharata B Rao <bharata@....com> for initial patch
to store pid information.
