sched/fair: Proportional newidle balance
commit
33cf66d88306663d16e4759e9d24766b0aaa2e17 upstream.
Add a randomized algorithm that runs newidle balancing proportional to
its success rate.
This improves schbench significantly:
6.18-rc4: 2.22 Mrps/s
6.18-rc4+revert: 2.04 Mrps/s
6.18-rc4+revert+random: 2.18 Mrps/S
Conversely, per Adam Li this affects SpecJBB slightly, reducing it by 1%:
6.17: -6%
6.17+revert: 0%
6.17+revert+random: -1%
