Both stats show up in expected places, but I notice they are also in
/proc/vmstat and are always 0.
I think you may have to add count_vm_numa_event() in migrate_task_to()
and __migrate_swap_task() unless there is a way to not show both stats
in /proc/vmstat.

This one is more of personal preference. I understand they show up only if
you turn on schedstats, but will it be better to put them in sched_show_numa()
so they will be printed out next to other numa stats such as numa_pages_migrated?
