    Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main updates in this cycle were:
    
       - Group balancing enhancements and cleanups (Brendan Jackman)
    
       - Move CPU isolation related functionality into its separate
         kernel/sched/isolation.c file, with related 'housekeeping_*()'
         namespace and nomenclature et al. (Frederic Weisbecker)
    
       - Improve the interactive/cpu-intense fairness calculation (Josef
         Bacik)
    
       - Improve the PELT code and related cleanups (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - Improve the logic of pick_next_task_fair() (Uladzislau Rezki)
    
       - Improve the RT IPI based balancing logic (Steven Rostedt)
    
       - Various micro-optimizations:
    
       - better !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG optimizations (Patrick Bellasi)
    
       - better idle loop (Cheng Jian)
    
       - ... plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"
