sched: Fix load balancing performance regression in should_we_balance()
Commit 23f0d20 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function. This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.
This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:
v4 filesystem v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev: 220k files/s 225k files/s
3.12-git 180k files/s 185k files/s
3.12-git-revert 245k files/s 247k files/s
You can find more detailed information at:

This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.
With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:
v4 filesystem v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev: 220k files/s 225k files/s
3.12-git 180k files/s 185k files/s
3.12-git-revert 245k files/s 247k files/s
3.12-git-fix 249k files/s 248k files/s
