[PATCH] sched/fair: fix idle balance when remaining tasks are all non-CFS tasks

[Wanpeng Li]

The overload indicator is used for knowing when we can totally avoid load
balancing to a cpu that is about to go idle. We can avoid load balancing 
when no cpu has cfs task and both rt and deadline have push/pull mechanism 
to do their own balancing.

However, rq->nr_running on behalf of the total number of each class tasks 
on the cpu, do idle balance when remaining tasks are all non-CFS tasks does
not make any sense.

This patch fix it by idle balance when there are still other CFS tasks in 
the rq's root domain.
