[PATCH 3/4 v2] SCHED - Only adjust overload state when changing

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Dec 10 2007 - 22:15:31 EST


From: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@xxxxxxxxxx>

The overload set/clears were originally idempotent when this logic was first
implemented. But that is no longer true due to the addition of the atomic
counter and this logic was never updated to work properly with that change.
So only adjust the overload state if it is actually changing to avoid
getting out of sync.
