sched/numa: Override part of migrate_degrades_locality() when idle balancing
Several tests in the NAS benchmark seem to run a lot slower with NUMA balancing enabled, than with NUMA balancing disabled. The slower run time corresponds with increased idle time. Overriding the final test of migrate_degrades_locality (but still doing the other NUMA tests first) seems to improve performance of those benchmarks.
