sched: Fix over-scheduling bug
commit 3c93717cfa51316e4dbb471e7c0f9d243359d5f8 upstream.
Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced
an imbalanced scheduling bug.
If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the
system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the
incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too
many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps
going in a round robin. That will hurt performance.
The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that
developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops
about 40%.
