Nitpicky nit: cfs_overload_{clear, set} might be a bit better, just to
explicitly differentiate this from rq->rd->overload. Although I suppose
the naming problem will show up again if/when you try to expand this to
other classes...

Eventually it'd be nice to squash those into {add, sub}_nr_running(), but
you already mentioned wanting to stick to CFS for now, so I don't think
it's *too* much of a big deal.
