[RFC PATCH 4/4] sched/numa: Don't update mm->numa_next_scan from fault path

[Bharata B Rao]

p->numa_scan_period is typically scaled up or down from
the fault path and mm->numa_next_scan is updated during
scanning from the task_work context using cmpxchg.

However there is one case where the scan period is increased
in the fault path, but mm->numa_next_scan

 - is immediately updated and
 - updated without using cmpxchg

Both of the above don't seem intended and hence remove
the updation of mm->numa_next_scan from the fault path
Updation should happen from task_work context subsequently.
