sched/fair: Avoid unnecessary active load balance
When find busiest group, it will avoid load balance if
it is only 1 task running on src cpu. Consider race when
different cpus do newly idle load balance at the same time,
check src cpu nr_running to avoid unnecessary active load
balance again.
See the race condition example here:
1) cpu2 have 2 tasks, so cpu2 rq->nr_running == 2 and cfs.h_nr_running
==2.
2) cpu4 and cpu5 doing newly idle load balance at the same time.
3) cpu4 and cpu5 both see cpu2 sched_load_balance_sg_stats sum_nr_run=2
so they are both see cpu2 as the busiest rq.
4) cpu5 did a success migration task from cpu2, so cpu2 only have 1 task
left, cpu2 rq->nr_running == 1 and cfs.h_nr_running ==1.
5) cpu4 surely goes to no_move because currently cpu4 only have 1 task
which is currently running.
6) and then cpu4 goes here to check if cpu2 need active load balance.
