Subject: sched/numa: Check current->mm before allocating NUMA faults
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~13342^2~64

sched/numa: Check current->mm before allocating NUMA faults

task_numa_placement checks current->mm but after buffers for faults
have already been uselessly allocated. Move the check earlier.
