[PATCH 0/7] sched/fair: fixes and cleanups

[Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com>]

This is a collection of rather loosely coupled small changes to the cfs 
scheduler related to: 

Comments (patch 1/7, 2/7):

  Remove/fix some outdated comments related to 'power aware scheduling'
  and smpnice.

Load-balance (patch 3/7 - 5/7):

  Change unit of load_above_capacity in calculate_imbalance() from
  [load] to [load/capacity]

  Refactoring logic in fix_small_imbalance() and remove
  cpu_avg_load_per_task().

Misc (patch 6/7, 7/7):

  Reorder update_sd_lb_stats() and use group_cfs_rq(se) throughout
  fair.c.

Test-results:

IVB-EP (2*10*2):

  perf stat --null --repeat 10 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 50 -l 5000

   Before:                     After:
   4.784556741 ( +- 0.99% )    4.760953662 ( +- 0.47% )
