[PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balances
Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain. And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those domains. Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower domains).
