[499992.359304] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

sched_clock_cpu may not be consistent bwtwen cpus. If a task migrate
to another cpu, the se.exec_start was set to that cpu's rq_clock_task
by update_stats_curr_start(). Which may not be monotonic.

update_stats_curr_start
<- set_next_entity
<- set_curr_task_fair
<- sched_move_task

So, if now - p->last_task_numa_placement is -1, then (*period + 1) is
0, and divide error was triggerred at the div operation:
task_numa_placement:
runtime = numa_get_avg_runtime(p, &period);
f_weight = div64_u64(runtime << 16, period + 1); // divide error here

In this patch, we make sure period is not less than 0 to avoid this
divide error.
