sched/fair: Don't free p->numa_faults with concurrent readers
When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of freeing them. During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed ->numa_faults allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace. I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently running task of a different CPU. Another way to fix this would be to make ->numa_faults RCU-managed or add extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on execve.
