[PATCH] sched/fair: Return the busiest group only if imbalance is meaningful

[zgpeng]

When calculate_imbalance function calculate the imbalance, it may
actually get a negative number. In this case, it is meaningless to
return the so-called busiest group and continue to search for the
busiest cpu later. Therefore, only when the imbalance is greater
than 0 should return the busiest group, otherwise return NULL.
