If anyone cares for the history, initial NUMA Balancing implementation
used the return value of task_numa_migrate() to retry NUMA Balancing in
commit 6b9a7460b6ba ("sched/numa: Retry migration of tasks to CPU on a
preferred node") however in the same series[1], Mel also included an
optimization from Rik which retried NUMA Balancing periodically
irrespective the return value from task_numa_migrate() in commit
2739d3eef3a9 ("sched/numa: Retry task_numa_migrate() periodically")
