[PATCH] sched: Call update_group_power only for local_group

[Venkatesh Pallipadi]

commit 871e35b moved update_group_power() call in update_sg_lb_stats(),
resulting in it being called for each group, even though it only updates
the power of local group. As a result we have frequent redundant
update_group_power() calls.

Move it back under "if (local_group)" condition.

This reduces the number of calls to update_group_power by a factor of 4
on my 4 core in 4 NUMA nodes test system.
