[PATCH] sched: increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ
increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ that adds a small amount of
over-balancing: to help distribute CPU-bound tasks more fairly on SMP
systems.
the problem of unfair balancing was noticed and reported by Tong N Li.
10 CPU-bound tasks running on 8 CPUs, v2.6.23-rc1:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2572 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.61 loop

2575 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.86 loop
v2.6.23-rc1 + patch:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2681 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 85 0.0 3:51.68 loop
2688 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 81 0.0 3:46.35 loop

2685 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:45.97 loop
2683 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:40.25 loop

2686 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 79 0.0 3:39.31 loop
2687 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 78 0.0 3:33.31 loop
2684 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 77 0.0 3:27.52 loop
so they now nicely converge to the expected 80% long-term CPU usage.
