Tejun Heo 924e2904da sched/fair: Make balance_fair() test sched_fair_runnable() instead of rq->nr_running
balance_fair() skips newidle balancing if rq->nr_running - there are already
tasks on the rq, so no need to try to pull tasks. This tests the total
number of queued tasks on the CPU instead of only the fair class, but is
still correct as the rq can currently only have fair class tasks while
balance_fair() is running.

However, with the addition of sched_ext below the fair class, this will not
hold anymore and make put_prev_task_balance() skip sched_ext's balance()
incorrectly as, when a CPU has only lower priority class tasks,
rq->nr_running would still be positive and balance_fair() would return 1
even when fair doesn't have any tasks to run.

Update balance_fair() to use sched_fair_runnable() which tests
rq->cfs.nr_running which is updated by bandwidth throttling. Note that
pick_next_task_fair() already uses sched_fair_runnable() in its optimized
path for the same purpose.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
