sched/numa: Fix math underflow in task_tick_numa()

Browse Source 
The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by
advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.

With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results
in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we
don't want to.

Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU
overhead in the NUMA balancing code.
