sched: fair-group: SMP-nice for group scheduling

Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.

On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.

After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.

Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.

XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of
     SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the
     total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small
     enough, we'll run out of bits.
