    As commit 1effd9f19324 ("sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in
    task_numa_assign()") points out, the rcu_read_lock() cannot protect the
    task_struct from being freed in the finish_task_switch(). And the bug
    happens in the process of calculation of imp which requires the access of
    p->numa_faults being freed in the following path:
    
    do_exit()
            current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
        release_task()
            ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
        schedule()
        ...
        ...
    rq->curr = next;
        context_switch()
            finish_task_switch()
                put_task_struct()
                    __put_task_struct()
                        task_numa_free()
    
    The fix here to get_task_struct() early before end of dst_rq->lock to
    protect the calculation process and also put_task_struct() in the
    corresponding point if finally the dst_rq->curr somehow cannot be
    assigned.
    
    Additional credit to Liang Chen who helped fix the error logic and add the
    put_task_struct() to the place it missed.
