sched/numa: More NUMA_PULL_BIAS fixes

Consider the simple case where 2 runnable tasks, each with a preferred
node (not the same), each running on the wrong node. Weight wise, this
is a well balanced situation and thus the load-balancer will not find
anything to do and is content.

NUMA_PULL_BIAS is the 'force' introduced to break this situation and
promote task movement despite the weight balance so that we might find
the situation where each task runs on its preferred node.

It was (again) observed that this force was too strong and created
undue task movement. In particular, suppose the two runnable tasks
each having the same preferred node, the weight balance will then move
one of them to the other node. This results in one task running on the
right node and one on the wrong node.

NUMA_PULL_BIAS would in this case try and move the off-node task back
to its home-node in order to promote better node-preference. This is
clearly sub-optimal since either we end up moving that same task back,
or worse, we'll move the other task to the now empty node.

This results in endless undue task movement.

Solve this by limiting the NUMA_PULL_BIAS to only allow moving an
offnode task to its home-node when the home-node has either another
offnode task or an non-numa task to trade back for it.
