When handling a numa page fault, task_numa_fault() should be called by a process that restores the page table of the faulted folio to avoid duplicated stats counting. Commit b99a342d4f11 ("NUMA balancing: reduce TLB flush via delaying mapping on hint page fault") restructured do_numa_page() and did not avoid task_numa_fault() call in the second page table check after a numa migration failure. Fix it by making all !pte_same() return immediately.
This issue can cause task_numa_fault() being called more than necessary and lead to unexpected numa balancing results (It is hard to tell whether the issue will cause positive or negative performance impact due to duplicated numa fault counting).
