[PATCH] sched: remove rq's runnable load average

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Thu Jun 05 2014 - 02:56:30 EST


Per rq runnable average has not been made use of anywhere since it was merged by:

commit 18bf2805d9b30cb823d4919b42cd230f59c7ce1f
Author: Ben Segall <bsegall@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu Oct 4 12:51:20 2012 +0200

sched: Maintain per-rq runnable averages

Since runqueues do not have a corresponding sched_entity we instead embed a
sched_avg structure directly.

So removing it does not hurt anything but can benefit PnP as the average trakcing
is in scheduler critical path.
