sched: Unify load_balance{,_newidle}()
load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one
key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance.
So split out that logic into a separate function.
One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail
and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not
yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either
load_balance{,_newidle}().
