Hi Tim,
If it is skipping if no cpu has more than 1 task, should the
above have the additional check for (rq->nr_running > 1) instead
of (rq->nr_running > 0)?

Would it make the code cleaner if we always call:
+ update_sg_lb_stats(env, sg, load_idx, local_group, sgs,
&overload);
and in update_sg_lb_stats():
+ bool is_root_domain = (env->sd->parent == NULL)

Perhaps we could just use:
