[CFS Bandwidth Control v4 6/7] sched: hierarchical task accounting for SCHED_OTHER

[Paul Turner]

With task entities participating in throttled sub-trees it is possible for
task activation/de-activation to not lead to root visible changes to
rq->nr_running.  This in turn leads to incorrect idle and weight-per-task load
balance decisions.

To allow correct accounting we move responsibility for updating rq->nr_running
to the respective sched::classes.  In the fair-group case this update is
hierarchical, tracking the number of active tasks rooted at each group entity.

Note: technically this issue also exists with the existing sched_rt
throttling; however due to the nearly complete provisioning of system
resources for rt scheduling this is much less common by default.
