sched: optimize group load balancer

I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus
in the sched_domain. This hurts.

We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched
entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new
weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value.

This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never
be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance
in semi-stable situations.
