In one of the group load balancer patches:

commit 408ed066b11cf9ee4536573b4269ee3613bd735e
Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Date:   Fri Jun 27 13:41:28 2008 +0200
Subject: sched: hierarchical load vs find_busiest_group

The following change:

-               if (max_load - this_load + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ >=
+               if (max_load - this_load + 2*busiest_load_per_task >=
                                        busiest_load_per_task * imbn) {

made the condition always true, because imbn is [1,2].
Therefore, remove the 2*, and give the it a fair chance.
