[PATCH v2 5/8] sched/fair: use rq->nr_running when balancing load

[Vincent Guittot]

cfs load_balance only takes care of CFS tasks whereas CPUs can be used by
other scheduling class. Typically, a CFS task preempted by a RT or deadline
task will not get a chance to be pulled on another CPU because the
load_balance doesn't take into account tasks from classes.
Add sum of nr_running in the statistics and use it to detect such
situation.
