Subject: sched,fair: Make calculate_imbalance() independent
From: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org>

update_sd_pick_busiest() to guarantee that busiest->sum_nr_running >
busiest->group_capacity_factor.
Break this implicit assumption (with the intent of not providing it
anymore) by having calculat_imbalance() verify it and not rely on
others.
