The bias given by source/target_load functions can be very large, disable
it by default to get faster convergence.

Priority looses much of its meaning in a hierarchical context. So don't
use it in balance decisions.

find_busiest_group() has some assumptions about task weight being in the
NICE_0_LOAD range. Hierarchical task groups break this assumption - fix this
by replacing it with the average task weight, which will adapt the situation.

Remove the fall-back to SCHED_LOAD_SCALE by remembering the previous value of
cpu_avg_load_per_task() - this is useful because of the hierarchical group
model in which task weight can be much smaller.

While thinking about the previous patch - I realized that using per domain
aggregate load values in load_balance_fair() is wrong. We should use the
load value for that CPU.
By not needing per domain hierarchical load values we don't need to store
per domain aggregate shares, which greatly simplifies all the math.
It basically falls apart in two separate computations:
- per domain update of the shares
- per CPU update of the hierarchical load
Also get rid of the move_group_shares() stuff - just re-compute the shares
again after a successful load balance.

We used to try and contain the loss of 'shares' by playing arithmetic
games. Replace that by noticing that at the top sched_domain we'll
always have the full weight in shares to distribute.

It was observed that in __update_group_shares_cpu()
rq_weight > aggregate()->rq_weight
This is caused by forks/wakeups in between the initial aggregate pass and
locking of the RQs for load balance. To avoid this situation partially re-do
the aggregation once we have the RQs locked (which avoids new tasks from
appearing).

Keeping the aggregate on the first cpu of the sched domain has two problems:
- it could collide between different sched domains on different cpus
- it could slow things down because of the remote accesses

Uncouple buddy selection from wakeup granularity.
The initial idea was that buddies could run ahead as far as a normal task
can - do this by measuring a pair 'slice' just as we do for a normal task.
This means we can drop the wakeup_granularity back to 5ms.

Hidehiro Kawai noticed that sched_setscheduler() can fail in
stop_machine: it calls sched_setscheduler() from insmod, which can
have CAP_SYS_MODULE without CAP_SYS_NICE.
Two cases could have failed, so are changed to sched_setscheduler_nocheck:
kernel/softirq.c:cpu_callback()
- CPU hotplug callback
kernel/stop_machine.c:__stop_machine_run()
- Called from various places, including modprobe()
