sched: Exclude pinned tasks from the NUMA-balancing logic

Don't try to NUMA-balance hard-bound tasks in vein. This
also makes it easier to compare hard-bound workloads against
NUMA-balanced workloads, because the NUMA code will
be completely inactive for those hard-bound tasks.

( Keep a debugging feature flag around: for development it
  makes sense to observe what NUMA balancing tries to do
  with hard-affine tasks. )

[ Note: the duplicated test condition will be consolidated
  in the next patch. ]
