sched/numa: initialize numa statistics when forking new task

The child processes will inherit numa_pages_migrated and
total_numa_faults from the parent. It means even if there is no numa
fault happen on the child, the statistics in /proc/$pid of the child
process might show huge amount. This is a bit weird. Let's initialize
them when do fork.
