[RFC PATCH V1 2/2] sched/numa: Introduce per vma numa_scan_seq

[Raghavendra K T]

 Per vma scan counter was introduced to aid disjoint set vma
scanning in corner cases. But that counter needs reset regularly.

Reset is achieved after full round of mm scanning by per vma
numa_scan_sequence that follows mm->numa_scan_seq.

Result: With this patch series we recover mmtest's
numa01_THREAD_ALLOC performance as below

Base 11-apr-next
        w/numascan      w/o numascan    numascan+patch

real    1m33.579s       1m2.042s        1m11.738s
user    280m46.032s     213m38.647s     231m40.226s
sys     0m18.061s       6m54.963s       4m43.174s

In summary: it adds back some system overhaed of scanning disjoint
vma scanning, But still we are at huge advantage w.r.t base kernel
