[PATCH 03/30] sched: fix calc_delta_asym()

[Peter Zijlstra]

calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except
linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them
to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted.

The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of
the actual task group weight; take that into account.

Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't
like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads)

This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.
