Thanks for comment!
I changed it to the following patch for further review.
a quick testing show hackbench still keep the improvement.
Will resent a new version to include all changes. :)

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] sched: consider runnable load average in effective_load
effective_load calculates the load change as seen from the
root_task_group. It needs to engage the runnable average
of changed task.
Thanks for Morten Rasmussen and PeterZ's reminder of this.
