[PATCH] sched/numa: skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems

[Libo Chen <libo.chen@oracle.com>]

When the memory of the current task is pinned to one NUMA node by cgroup,
there is no point in continuing the rest of VMA scanning and hinting page
faults as they will just be overhead. With this change, there will be no
more unnecessary PTE updates or page faults in this scenario.
