We cannot compare two load directly from two cpus, since the cpu power
over two cpu may vary largely.
Suppose we meet such two kind of cpus.
CPU A:
No real time work, and there are 3 task, with rq->load.weight
being 512.
CPU B:
Has real time work, and it take 3/4 of the cpu power, which
makes CFS only take 1/4, that is 1024/4=256 cpu power. And over its CFS
runqueue, there is only one task with weight as 128.
Since both cpu's CFS task take for half of the CFS's cpu power, it
should be considered as balanced in such case.
But original judgment like:
if ((max_cpu_load - min_cpu_load) >= avg_load_per_task &&
(max_nr_running - min_nr_running) > 1)
It makes (512-128)>=((512+128)/4), and lead to imbalance conclusion...
Make the load as scaled, to avoid such case.
