Chase reported that due to us decrementing calc_load_task prematurely
(before the next LOAD_FREQ sample), the load average could be scewed
by as much as the number of CPUs in the machine.

This patch, based on Chase's patch, cures the problem by keeping the
delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately and folding that in
on the next LOAD_FREQ update.

This restores the balance and we get strict LOAD_FREQ period samples.

In order to reduce the dependency on TASK_WAKING rework the enqueue
interface to support a proper flags field.

Replace the int wakeup, bool head arguments with an int flags argument
and create the following flags:

  ENQUEUE_WAKEUP - the enqueue is a wakeup of a sleeping task,
  ENQUEUE_WAKING - the enqueue has relative vruntime due to
                   having sched_class::task_waking() called,
  ENQUEUE_HEAD - the waking task should be places on the head
                 of the priority queue (where appropriate).

For symmetry also convert sched_class::dequeue() to a flags scheme.

Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.

 - since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
 - since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq-&gt;lock it could
   be there still is a rq-&gt;lock holder, thereby not actually
   providing full serialization.

(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.

Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().

Cure the first by holding rq-&gt;lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq-&gt;lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.

Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq-&gt;lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

kernel/sched: don't expose local functions

The get_rr_interval_* functions are all class methods of
struct sched_class. They are not exported so make them
static.
