Subject[PATCH v2] sched/fair: Care divide error in update_task_scan_period()
While offling node by hot removing memory, the following divide error
occurs:

divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
Call Trace:
[...] handle_mm_fault
[...] ? try_to_wake_up
[...] ? wake_up_state
[...] __do_page_fault
[...] ? do_futex
[...] ? put_prev_entity
[...] ? __switch_to
[...] do_page_fault
[...] page_fault
[...]
RIP [<ffffffff810a7081>] task_numa_fault
RSP <ffff88084eb2bcb0>

The issue occurs as follows:
1. When page fault occurs and page is allocated from node 1,
task_struct->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 1 is
incremented and p->numa_faults_locality[] is also incremented
as follows:

o numa_faults_buffer_memory[] o numa_faults_locality[]
NR_NUMA_HINT_FAULT_TYPES
| 0 | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------
node 0 | 0 | 0 | remote | 0 |
node 1 | 0 | 1 | locale | 1 |
---------------------------------- ----------------------

2. node 1 is offlined by hot removing memory.

3. When page fault occurs, fault_types[] is calculated by using
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of all online nodes in
task_numa_placement(). But node 1 was offline by step 2. So
the fault_types[] is calculated by using only
p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 0. So both of fault_types[]
are set to 0.

4. The values(0) of fault_types[] pass to update_task_scan_period().

5. numa_faults_locality[1] is set to 1. So the following division is
calculated.

static void update_task_scan_period(struct task_struct *p,
unsigned long shared, unsigned long private){
...
ratio = DIV_ROUND_UP(private * NUMA_PERIOD_SLOTS, (private + shared));
}

6. But both of private and shared are set to 0. So divide error
occurs here.

The divide error is rare case because the trigger is node offline.
By this patch, when both of private and shared are set to 0,
denominator is set to 1 for avoiding divide error.
