No need to define a new "cfs_rq" variable in the "for" block.
Just use the one at the top of the function.

"entity_key()" is only used in "__enqueue_entity()" and
its only function is to subtract a tasks vruntime by
its groups minvruntime.
Before this patch a rbtree enqueue-decision is done by
comparing two tasks in the style:

	"if (entity_key(cfs_rq, se) &lt; entity_key(cfs_rq, entry))"

which would be

	"if (se-&gt;vruntime-cfs_rq-&gt;min_vruntime &lt; entry-&gt;vruntime-cfs_rq-&gt;min_vruntime)"

or (if reducing cfs_rq-&gt;min_vruntime out)

	"if (se-&gt;vruntime &lt; entry-&gt;vruntime)"

which is

	"if (entity_before(se, entry))"

So we do not need "entity_key()".
If "entity_before()" is inline we will also save one subtraction (only one,
because "entity_key(cfs_rq, se)"  was cached in "key")

The last reference to cpu_cfs_rq() was removed with commit 88ec22d3
("sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()"). Thus,
remove this function, too.

Use for_each_leaf_cfs_rq() instead of list_for_each_entry_rcu(), this
achieves that load_balance_fair() only iterates those task_groups that
actually have tasks on busiest, and that we iterate bottom-up, trying to
move light groups before the heavier ones.

No idea if it will actually work out to be beneficial in practice, does
anybody have a cgroup workload that might show a difference one way or
the other?

[ Also move update_h_load to sched_fair.c, loosing #ifdef-ery ]

In dequeue_task_fair() we bail on dequeue when we encounter a parenting entity
with additional weight.  However, we perform a double shares update on this
entity as we continue the shares update traversal from this point, despite
dequeue_entity() having already updated its queuing cfs_rq.
Avoid this by starting from the parent when we resume.

While looking at check_preempt_wakeup() I realized that we are
potentially updating the wrong entity in the fair-group scheduling
case. In this case the current task's cfs_rq may not be the same as
the one used for the comparison between the waking task and the
existing task's vruntime.

This potentially results in us using a stale vruntime in the
pre-emption decision, providing a small false preference for the
previous task. The effects of this are bounded since we always
perform a hierarchal update on the tick.

In order to prepare for non-unique sched_groups per domain, we need to
carry the cpu_power elsewhere, so put a level of indirection in.
