Subject[PATCH 29/52] sched: Implement NUMA scanning backoff
Date
Back off slowly from scanning, up to sysctl_sched_numa_scan_period_max
(1.6 seconds). Scan faster again if we were forced to switch to
another node.

This makes sure that workload in equilibrium don't get scanned as often
as workloads that are still converging.
