sched: Add group_misfit_task load-balance type

To maximize throughput in systems with reduced capacity cpus (e.g.
high RT/IRQ load and/or ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider
task and cpu utilization as well as per-cpu compute capacity when
load-balancing in addition to the current average load based
load-balancing policy. Tasks that are scheduled on a reduced capacity
cpu need to be identified and migrated to a higher capacity cpu if
possible.

To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: group_misfit_task. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has tasks that are not suitable for its
per-cpu capacity. group_misfit_task is only considered if the system is
not overloaded in any other way (group_imbalanced or group_overloaded).

Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.
