scheduler: compute time-average nr_running per run-queue

Compute the time-average number of running tasks per run-queue for a
trailing window of a fixed time period. The detla add/sub to the
average value is weighted by the amount of time per nr_running value
relative to the total measurement period.

scheduler: Re-compute time-average nr_running on read

Re-compute time-average nr_running when it is read. This would
prevent reading stalled average value if there were no run-queue
changes for a long time. New average value is returned to the reader,
but not stored to avoid concurrent writes. Light-weight sequential
counter synchronization is used to assure data consistency for
re-computing average.

sched: Consider max cost of idle balance per sched domain

Date    Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:05:35 -0700

In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains. Additionally,
we swap sched_migration_cost used in idle_balance for rq->max_idle_balance_cost.

By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the chance
we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost to balance.

I also limited the max cost of each domain to 5*sysctl_sched_migration_cost as
a way to prevent the max from becoming too inflated.
