Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "A fix for KVM's scheduler clock which (erroneously) was always marked
  unstable, a fix for RT/DL load balancing, plus latency fixes"

* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface
  sched/core: Fix pick_next_task() for RT,DL
  sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive
