Hummm, but if sched_load_balance is disabled it means that we've now got
a subset of CPUs which (from a DL AC pow) are partitioned. So, I'd tend
to say that we actually want to check new tasks bw requirement against
the available bandwidth of the particular CPU they happen to be running
(and will continue to run) when setscheduler is called.

If then load balance is enabled again, AC check we did above should
still be valid for all tasks admitted in the meantime, no?
