Subject: [PATCH 35/52] sched: Use the ideal CPU to drive active balancing

Use our shared/private distinction to allow the separate
handling of 'private' versus 'shared' workloads, which enables
the active-balancing of them:

 - private tasks, via the sched_update_ideal_cpu_private() function,
   try to 'spread' the system as evenly as possible.

 - shared-access tasks that also share their mm (threads), via the
   sched_update_ideal_cpu_shared() function, try to 'compress'
   with other shared tasks on as few nodes as possible.

   [ We'll be able to extend this grouping beyond threads in the
     future, by using the existing p->shared_buddy directed graph. ]

Introduce the sched_rebalance_to() primitive to trigger active rebalancing.

The result of this patch is 2-3 times faster convergence and
much more stable convergence points.
