Almost I'd say; what happens on !sd_parent && SD_ASYM_PACKING ?

Also, this made me look at the nr_busy stuff again, and somehow that
entire thing makes me a little sad.

Can't we do something like the below and cut that nr_busy sd iteration
short?

This nohz stuff really needs to be re-thought and made more scalable --
its a royal pain :/
