Why not do this check in task_numa_find_cpu?

That way you won't have to pass this in as a
pointer, and you also will not have to recalculate
NODE_DATA(cpu_to_node(env->dst_cpu)) for every CPU.

I can see a use for the first test, but why limit the
search for the best score once you are past the
threshold?

I don't understand the use for that second test.

What workload benefits from it?
