[PATCH v3 1/3] sched/fair: fix rounding issue for asym packing

[Vincent Guittot]

When check_asym_packing() is triggered, the imbalance is set to :
  busiest_stat.avg_load * busiest_stat.group_capacity / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
But busiest_stat.avg_load equals
  sgs->group_load *SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE / sgs->group_capacity
These divisions can generate a rounding that will make imbalance slightly
lower than the weighted load of the cfs_rq.
But this is enough to skip the rq in find_busiest_queue and prevents asym
migration to happen.

Directly set imbalance to sgs->group_load to remove the rounding.
