During the review of misfit task patchset, Morten and Valentin raised some
problems with the use of SD_ASYM_PACKING flag on asymmetric system like
hikey960 arm64 big/LITTLE platform. The study of the use cases has shown
some problems that can happen for every systems that use the flag.

The 3 patches fixes the problems raised for lmbench and the rt-app UC that
creates 2 tasks that start as small tasks and then become suddenly always
running tasks. (I can provide the rt-app json is needed)

- Rebase on latest tip/sched/core

Vincent Guittot (3):
  sched/fair: fix rounding issue for asym packing
  sched/fair: trigger asym_packing during idle load balance
  sched/fair: fix unnecessary increase of balance interval
