Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Restore env status before goto redo in load_balance()

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@...aro.org>

In load_balance(), some members of lb_env will be assigned with
new values in LBF_DST_PINNED case. But lb_env::flags may still
retain LBF_ALL_PINNED if no proper tasks were found afterwards
due to another balance, task affinity changing, etc, which can
really happen because busiest rq lock has already been released.

This is wrong, for example with env.dst_cpu assigned new_dst_cpu
when going back to "redo" label, it may cause should_we_balance()
to return false which is unreasonable.

This patch restores proper status of env before "goto redo", and
improves "out_all_pinned" and "out_one_pinned" labels.
