sched: Deal with low-load in wake_affine()

wake_affine() would always fail under low-load situations where
both prev and this were idle, because adding a single task will
always be a significant imbalance, even if there's nothing
around that could balance it.

Deal with this by allowing imbalance when there's nothing you
can do about it.
