[PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancing
Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional layer of time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small portion of the time slice. For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as load staggering.
