sched/numa: Prevent parallel updates to group stats during placement
Having multiple tasks in a group go through task_numa_placement simultaneously can lead to a task picking a wrong node to run on, because the group stats may be in the middle of an update. This patch avoids parallel updates by holding the numa_group lock during placement decisions.
