sched/numa: Stop an exhastive search if a reasonable swap candidate or idle CPU is found
When domains are imbalanced or overloaded a search of all CPUs on the target domain is searched and compared with task_numa_compare. In some circumstances, a candidate is found that is an obvious win. o A task can move to an idle CPU and an idle CPU is found o A swap candidate is found that would move to its preferred domain This patch terminates the search when either condition is met.
