[PATCH v2 2/3] sched/fair: Rename group_imbalanced to group_pinned_imb

[Jemmy Wong <jemmywong512@gmail.com>]

The name dates back to the original group_imb heuristic, which flagged
a group when the load difference between its busiest and idlest CPU
exceeded the average task load. Commit 6263322c5e8f ("sched/fair:
Rewrite group_imb trigger") replaced that heuristic: the flag is now
set only when a lower domain fails to balance because tasks are pinned
by cpus_ptr (LBF_SOME_PINNED), and kept while all tasks are pinned
(LBF_ALL_PINNED). The name was carried over unchanged and later became
group_imbalanced in commit 0b0695f2b34a ("sched/fair: Rework
load_balance()").

Today the name no longer matches the condition:

 - group_classify() checks group_overloaded first, so a group whose
   load really is skewed is usually not classified as imbalanced,
   while a flagged group may carry a single extra task.

 - calculate_imbalance() does not measure any imbalance for this type;
   it moves one task (migrate_task, imbalance = 1).

 - Elsewhere in fair.c "imbalance" consistently means the amount of
   load to move (env->imbalance, imbalance_pct, calculate_imbalance(),
   the lb_imbalance_* schedstats), and imbalanced_active_balance() uses
   "imbalanced" for repeated balance failures, unrelated to this flag.

Rename it to group_pinned_imb. The "pinned" prefix names the cause that
raises it, an imbalance the balancer could not fix because tasks are
pinned by cpus_ptr, and distinguishes it from the unqualified
"imbalanced" uses above. The enum is local to fair.c, so no tracepoint,
schedstat or other user-visible interface is affected.

No functional change.
