Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Combine EAS check with overutilized access

Access to overutilized is always used with sched_energy_enabled in
the pattern:

if (sched_energy_enabled && !overutilized)
       do something

So modify the helper function to return this pattern. This is more
readable code as it would say, do something when root domain is not
overutilized. This function always return true when EAS is disabled.

No change in functionality intended.
