While thinking about the previous patch - I realized that using per domain
aggregate load values in load_balance_fair() is wrong. We should use the
load value for that CPU.

By not needing per domain hierarchical load values we don't need to store
per domain aggregate shares, which greatly simplifies all the math.

It basically falls apart in two separate computations:
 - per domain update of the shares
 - per CPU update of the hierarchical load

Also get rid of the move_group_shares() stuff - just re-compute the shares
again after a successful load balance.

The idea was to balance groups until we've reached the global goal, however
Vatsa rightly pointed out that we might never reach that goal this way -
hence take out this logic.

[ the initial rationale for this 'feature' was to promote max concurrency
  within a group - it does not however affect fairness ]

It was observed that in __update_group_shares_cpu()

  rq_weight > aggregate()->rq_weight

This is caused by forks/wakeups in between the initial aggregate pass and
locking of the RQs for load balance. To avoid this situation partially re-do
the aggregation once we have the RQs locked (which avoids new tasks from
appearing).

Uncouple buddy selection from wakeup granularity.

The initial idea was that buddies could run ahead as far as a normal task
can - do this by measuring a pair 'slice' just as we do for a normal task.

calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except
linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them
to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted.

The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of
the actual task group weight; take that into account.

Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't
like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads)

This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.

This patch fixes bz 450641.

This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded.  If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.

Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.
