Should we take the other approach of setting the preferred nid but not 
moving the task to the node?

So if some task moves out of the preferred node, then we should still be
able to move this task there. 

However your current approach has an advantage that it atleast runs on
second preferred choice if not the first.

Also should sched_numa_overloaded() also consider pinned tasks?
