Subject: [RFC patch v2] sched: use runnable load avg in cfs balance instead of instant load

This patchset can be used, but causes burst waking benchmark aim9 drop 5~7%
on my 2 sockets machine. The reason is too light runnable load in early stage
of waked tasks causes imbalance in balancing.

So, it is immature and just a reference for guys who want to go gurther.

V2 change:
1, attached the 1~3 patches, which were sent in power awareness scheduling
2, remove CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED mask in patch 5th.

Thanks Ingo's comments and testing provided by Fengguang's kbuild system.
Now it is indepent patchset bases on Linus' tree.

Thanks 
Alex
