sched/balancing: Fix 'local->avg_load > sds->avg_load' case in calculate_imbalance()
In busiest->group_imb case we can come to calculate_imbalance() with
local->avg_load >= busiest->avg_load >= sds->avg_load. This can result
in imbalance overflow, because it is calculated as follows
env->imbalance = min(
max_pull * busiest->group_power,
(sds->avg_load - local->avg_load) * local->group_power) / SCHED_POWER_SCALE;
As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to
another if there are pinned tasks.
Fix this by skipping the assignment and assuming imbalance=0 in case
local->avg_load > sds->avg_load.
[ The bug can be caught by running 2*N cpuhogs pinned to two logical cpus
belonging to different cores on an HT-enabled machine with N logical
cpus: just look at se.nr_migrations growth. ]
