[RFC PATCH 11/12 v2] Intercept periodic load balancing

[Yuyang Du]

We intercept load balancing to contain the load and load balancing in
the consolidated CPUs according to our consolidating mechanism.

In periodic load balancing, we do two things:

1) Skip pulling task to the non-consolidated CPUs.

2) In addition, for consolidated Idle CPU, we aggressively pull tasks from
non-consolidated CPUs.
