sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faults
While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary. Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share" pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement. This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling decisions based on the grouping information.
