sched/numa: Modify migrate_swap() to accept additional parameters

There are checks in migrate_swap_stop() that check if the task/CPU
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.

However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap() could
have migrated to a completely different CPU before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new CPU where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node.  Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.

To avoid that pass the CPUs as additional parameters.

While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.
