sched: reduce balance-tasks overhead

At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
  move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality.  This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.

This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.
