Rik van Riel caeb178c60 sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() return 'true' on a busier sd
Currently update_sd_pick_busiest only identifies the busiest sd
that is either overloaded, or has a group imbalance. When no
sd is imbalanced or overloaded, the load balancer fails to find
the busiest domain.

This breaks load balancing between domains that are not overloaded,
in the !SD_ASYM_PACKING case. This patch makes update_sd_pick_busiest
return true when the busiest sd yet is encountered.

Groups are ranked in the order overloaded > imbalanced > other,
with higher ranked groups getting priority even when their load
is lower. This is necessary due to the possibility of unequal
capacities and cpumasks between domains within a sched group.

Behaviour for SD_ASYM_PACKING does not seem to match the comment,
but I have no hardware to test that so I have left the behaviour
of that code unchanged.

Enum for group classification suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
