I actually did, but forgot to send out. I have the below.
Does that work for you?

Subject: sched/numa: Fix a possible divide-by-zero
From: Xie XiuQi <xiexiuqi@huawei.com>
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2019 16:34:16 +0800
sched_clock_cpu() may not be consistent between CPUs. If a task
migrates to another CPU, then se.exec_start is set to that CPU's
rq_clock_task() by update_stats_curr_start(). Specifically, the new
value might be before the old value due to clock skew.
So then if in numa_get_avg_runtime() the expression:
'now - p->last_task_numa_placement'
ends up as -1, then the divider '*period + 1' in task_numa_placement()
is 0 and things go bang. Similar to update_curr(), check if time goes
backwards to avoid this.
