sched: revert load_balance_monitor() changes
The following commits cause a number of regressions:
commit 58e2d4ca581167c2a079f4ee02be2f0bc52e8729

sched: group scheduling, change how cpu load is calculated
commit 6b2d7700266b9402e12824e11e0099ae6a4a6a79
Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups
Namely:
- very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
- cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
- some latencies larger than 500ms
While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).
Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

- * shares assigned to a task group governs how much of cpu bandwidth
- * is allocated to the group. The more shares a group has, the more is
- * the cpu bandwidth allocated to it.
- *
- * For ex, lets say that there are three task groups, A, B and C which
- * have been assigned shares 1000, 2000 and 3000 respectively. Then,
- * cpu bandwidth allocated by the scheduler to task groups A, B and C
- * should be:
- *
- * Bw(A) = 1000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 16.66%
- * Bw(B) = 2000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 33.33%
- * Bw(C) = 3000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 50%
- *
- * The weight assigned to a task group's schedulable entities on every
- * cpu (task_group.se[a_cpu]->load.weight) is derived from the task
- * group's shares. For ex: lets say that task group A has been
- * assigned shares of 1000 and there are two CPUs in a system. Then,
- *
- * tg_A->se[0]->load.weight = tg_A->se[1]->load.weight = 1000;
- *
- * Note: It's not necessary that each of a task's group schedulable
- * entity have the same weight on all CPUs. If the group
- * has 2 of its tasks on CPU0 and 1 task on CPU1, then a
- * better distribution of weight could be:
- *
- * tg_A->se[0]->load.weight = 2/3 * 2000 = 1333
- * tg_A->se[1]->load.weight = 1/2 * 2000 = 667
- *
- * rebalance_shares() is responsible for distributing the shares of a
- * task groups like this among the group's schedulable entities across
- * cpus.
