[PATCH V3 1/4] sched/numa: Apply the scan delay to every new vma

[Raghavendra K T]

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently whenever a new task is created we wait for
sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay to avoid unnessary scanning
overhead. Extend the same logic to new or very short-lived VMAs.

(Raghavendra: Add initialization in vm_area_dup())
