[PATCH 4/6] sched/numa: Move up the access pid reset logic

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>]

From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@amd.com>

Recent NUMA hinting faulting activity is reset approximately every
VMA_PID_RESET_PERIOD milliseconds. However, if the current task has not
accessed a VMA then the reset check is missed and the reset is potentially
deferred forever. Check if the PID activity information should be reset
before checking if the current task recently trapped a NUMA hinting fault.
