sched/fair: Use rq->nr_running when balancing load

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