sched: Fix the group_imb logic 

On a 2*6*2 machine something like:

 taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

_should_ result in 9 busy CPUs, each running 1 task.

However it didn't quite work reliably, most of the time one cpu of the
second socket (6-11) would be idle and one cpu of the first socket
(0-5) would have two tasks on it.

The group_imb logic is supposed to deal with this and detect when a
particular group is imbalanced (like in our case, 0-2 are idle but 3-5
will have 4 tasks on it).

The detection phase needed a bit of a tweak as it was too weak and
required more than 2 avg weight tasks difference between idle and busy
cpus in the group which won't trigger for our test-case. So cure that
to be one or more avg task weight difference between cpus.

Once the detection phase worked, it was then defeated by the f_b_g()
tests trying to avoid ping-pongs. In particular, this_load >= max_load
triggered because the pulling cpu (the (first) idle cpu in on the
second socket, say 6) would find this_load to be 5 and max_load to be
4 (there'd be 5 tasks running on our socket and only 4 on the other
socket).
