sched/fair: Make sure to try to detach at least one movable task

During load balance, we try at most env->loop_max time to move a task.
But it can happen that the loop_max LRU tasks (ie tail of
the cfs_tasks list) can't be moved to dst_cpu because of affinity.
In this case, loop in the list until we found at least one.

The maximum of detached tasks remained the same as before.
