[PATCH] sched: HT optimisation

Browse Source 
If an idle sibling of an HT queue encounters a busy sibling, then make
higher level load balancing of the non-idle variety.

Performance of multiprocessor HT systems with low numbers of tasks
(generally < number of virtual CPUs) can be significantly worse than the
exact same workloads when running in non-HT mode.  The reason is largely
due to poor scheduling behaviour.

This patch improves the situation, making the performance gap far less
significant on one problematic test case (tbench).
