Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH v1]: sched/fair: Revise comment about lb decision matrix

If busiest group type is group_misfit_task, the local
group type must be group_has_spare according to below
code in update_sd_pick_busiest():

if (sgs->group_type == group_misfit_task &&
    (!capacity_greater(capacity_of(env->dst_cpu), sg->sgc->max_capacity) ||
     sds->local_stat.group_type != group_has_spare))
         return false;

group type imbalanced and overloaded and fully_busy are filtered in here.
misfit and asym are filtered before in update_sg_lb_stats().
So, change the decision matrix to:

busiest \ local has_spare fully_busy misfit asym imbalanced overloaded
has_spare        nr_idle   balanced   N/A    N/A  balanced   balanced
fully_busy       nr_idle   nr_idle    N/A    N/A  balanced   balanced
misfit_task      force     N/A        N/A    N/A  *N/A*      *N/A*
asym_packing     force     force      N/A    N/A  force      force
imbalanced       force     force      N/A    N/A  force      force
overloaded       force     force      N/A    N/A  force      avg_load
