Ok, to reconcile this with the load balancer, it would need to account
for imbalanced but that's ok in the context of this patch.

Ok, so this is essentially group_is_overloaded.

And this is group_has_capacity. What I did was have a common helper
for both NUMA and normal load balancing and translated the fields from
sg_lb_stats and numa_stats into a common helper. This is to prevent them
getting out of sync. The conversion was incomplete in my case but in
principle, both NUMA and CPU load balancing should use common helpers or
they'll get out of sync.

Ok, this is more or less what I had except I wedged other stuff in there
too specific to NUMA balancing to avoid multiple walks of the cpumask.

Not exactly what the load balancer thinks though, the load balancer
may decide to balance the tasks between NUMA groups even when there is
capacity. That said, what you did here is compatible with the current code.
I'll want to test this further but in general

However, I really would have preferred if numa_classify shared common
code with group_[is_overloaded|has_capacity] instead of having
equivalent but different implementations.
