sched/numa: Favor placing a task on the preferred node
A tasks preferred node is selected based on the number of faults recorded for a node but the actual task_numa_migate() conducts a global search regardless of the preferred nid. This patch checks if the preferred nid has capacity and if so, searches for a CPU within that node. This avoids a global search when the preferred node is not overloaded.
