[PATCH -v3] sched, numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups forshared faults

[Peter Zijlstra]

Here's the latest; it seems to not crash and appears to actually do as
advertised.

Subject: sched, numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faults
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Jul 30 10:40:20 CEST 2013

A very simple/straight forward shared fault task grouping
implementation.
