[patch v3 4/6] sched, nohz: cleanup the find_new_ilb() using sched groups nr_busy_cpus

[Suresh Siddha]

nr_busy_cpus in the sched_group_power indicates whether the group
is semi idle or not. This helps remove the is_semi_idle_group() and simplify
the find_new_ilb() in the context of finding an optimal cpu that can do
idle load balancing.
