Subject: mm: numa: Sanitize task_numa_fault() callsites

commit c61109e34f60f6e85bb43c5a1cd51c0e3db40847 upstream.

There are three callers of task_numa_fault():

 - do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
     accounts against the node we migrated towards.

This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.

So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.

They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.
