Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] sched: Remove un-necessary iteration over sched
 domains to update nr_busy_cpus

nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the number
of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set.
Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level of sched domain,
since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter only at the parent
domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce a per-cpu parameter
sd_busy which represents this parent domain.

In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter
associated with the groups of sd_busy.

By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains which could
have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any of the levels have
more than one busy cpu.

sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing.

While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to be
updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain level of a CPU.
This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one level of sched domain
where it is currently used.
