Qian Cai reported the following

  The linux-next commit ff7db0bf24db ("sched/numa: Prefer using an idle CPU as a
  migration target instead of comparing tasks") introduced a boot warning,

  [   86.520534][    T1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

task_numa_migrate() checks for idle cores when updating NUMA-related statistics.
This relies on reading a RCU-protected structure in test_idle_cores() via this
call chain

task_numa_migrate
  -> update_numa_stats
    -> numa_idle_core
      -> test_idle_cores

While the locking could be fine-grained, it is more appropriate to acquire
the RCU lock for the entire scan of the domain. This patch removes the
warning triggered at boot time.
