Hi there, what's the status of this series?

I'm seeing this same symptom of burning cycles in update_sd_lb_stats() on an
AMD EPYC 7713 machine (128 CPUs, 8 NUMA nodes). The machine is about 50% idle
and upadte_sd_lb_stats() sits as the first entry in perf top with about 3.62%
of CPU cycles.

Thanks,
Matt
