As commit 1effd9f19324 ("sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign()") points out, the rcu_read_lock() cannot protect the
task_struct from being freed in the finish_task_switch(). And the bug
happens in the process of calculation of imp which requires the access of
p->numa_faults being freed in the following path:

do_exit()
current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
release_task()
~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
schedule()
...
...
rq->curr = next;
context_switch()
finish_task_switch()
put_task_struct()
__put_task_struct()
task_numa_free()

The fix here to get_task_struct() early before end of dst_rq->lock to
protect the calculation process and also put_task_struct() in the
corresponding point if finally the dst_rq->curr somehow cannot be
assigned.

Additional credit to Liang Chen who helped fix the error logic and add the
put_task_struct() to the place it missed.
