[PATCH 09/11] sched/fair: Split out helper to adjust imbalances between domains

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Wed Feb 12 2020 - 10:45:37 EST


The patch "sched/fair: Allow a small load imbalance between low utilisation
SD_NUMA domains" allows an imbalance when the busiest group has very
few tasks. Move the check to a helper function as it is needed by a later
patch.

No functional change.
