Mike Galbraith 0ec9fab3d1 sched: Improve latencies and throughput
Make the idle balancer more agressive, to improve a
x264 encoding workload provided by Jason Garrett-Glaser:

 NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 252.82 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 250.69 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 245.76 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 344.44 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 346.66 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 352.59 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 425.75 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.
