Revert "sched/numa: add statistics of numa balance task"

This reverts commit ad6b26b6a0a79166b53209df2ca1cf8636296382.

This commit introduces per-memcg/task NUMA balance statistics, but
unfortunately it introduced a NULL pointer exception due to the following
race condition: After a swap task candidate was chosen, its mm_struct
pointer was set to NULL due to task exit.  Later, when performing the
actual task swapping, the p->mm caused the problem.

task_numa_migrate
     task_numa_find_cpu
      task_numa_compare
        # a normal task p is chosen
        env->best_task = p

                                          # p exit:
                                          exit_signals(p);
                                             p->flags |= PF_EXITING
                                          exit_mm
                                             p->mm = NULL;

      migrate_swap_stop
        __migrate_swap_task((arg->src_task, arg->dst_cpu)
         count_memcg_event_mm(p->mm, NUMA_TASK_SWAP)# p->mm is NULL

task_lock() should be held and the PF_EXITING flag needs to be checked to
prevent this from happening.  After discussion, the conclusion was that
adding a lock is not worthwhile for some statistics calculations.  Revert
the change and rely on the tracepoint for this purpose.
