Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased
between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from
do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.

sched: don't call task_group() many times in set_task_rq()
It improves perfomance, especially if autogroup enabled.

The size of set_task_rq() was 0x180 and now it is 0xa0.

sched: Folding nohz load accounting more accurate
After patch 453494c3d4 (sched: Fix nohz load accounting -- again!), we can fold
the idle into calc_load_tasks_idle between the last cpu load calculating and
calc_global_load calling. However problem still exits between the first cpu
load calculating and the last cpu load calculating. Every time when we do load
calculating, calc_load_tasks_idle will be added into calc_load_tasks, even if
the idle load is caused by calculated cpus. This problem is also described in
the following link:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/24/419

This bug can be found in our work load. The average running processes number
is about 15, but the load only shows about 4.

The patch provides a solution, by taking calculated load cpus' idle away from
 real effective idle. First adds a cpumask to record those cpus that alread
calculated their load, and then adds a calc_unmask_cpu_load_idle to record
thoses not marked cpus' go-idle load. Calc_unmask_cpu_load_idle takes place
of calc_load_tasks_idle to be added into calc_load_tasks every 5HZ when cpu
calculate its load. Go-idle load on those cpus which load alread has been calculated
will only be added into calc_load_tasks_idle, no in calc_unmask_cpu_load_idle.
