sched/numa: fix memory leak due to the overwritten vma->numab_state
[Problem Description]
When running the hackbench program of LTP, the following memory leak is
reported by kmemleak.
# /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 20 thread 1000
Running with 20*40 (== 800) tasks.
# dmesg | grep kmemleak
...
kmemleak: 480 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

This issue can be consistently reproduced on three different servers:
* a 448-core server
* a 256-core server
* a 192-core server
[Root Cause]
Since multiple threads are created by the hackbench program (along with
the command argument 'thread'), a shared vma might be accessed by two or
more cores simultaneously. When two or more cores observe that
vma->numab_state is NULL at the same time, vma->numab_state will be
overwritten.
Although current code ensures that only one thread scans the VMAs in a
single 'numa_scan_period', there might be a chance for another thread
to enter in the next 'numa_scan_period' while we have not gotten till
numab_state allocation [1].
Note that the command `/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 50 process 1000`
cannot the reproduce the issue. It is verified with 200+ test runs.
[Solution]
Use the cmpxchg atomic operation to ensure that only one thread executes
the vma->numab_state assignment.
