[PATCH 13/50] sched: numa: Initialise numa_next_scan properly

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Tue Sep 10 2013 - 05:42:59 EST


Scan delay logic and resets are currently initialised to start scanning
immediately instead of delaying properly. Initialise them properly at
fork time and catch when a new mm has been allocated.
