From: Rik van Riel <[email protected]> The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.
With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we don't want to. Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU overhead in the NUMA balancing code.
