sched: revert load_balance_monitor() changes

Browse source 
The following commits cause a number of regressions:

  commit 58e2d4ca58
  Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
  Date:   Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
  sched: group scheduling, change how cpu load is calculated

  commit 6b2d770026
  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.
