sched/numa: Be more careful about joining numa groups

Browse Source 
Due to the way the pid is truncated, and tasks are moved between
CPUs by the scheduler, it is possible for the current task_numa_fault
to group together tasks that do not actually share memory together.

This patch adds a few easy sanity checks to task_numa_fault, joining
tasks together if they share the same tsk->mm, or if the fault was on
a page with an elevated mapcount, in a shared VMA.
