Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change is a performance improvement on SMP systems:

  | 4 socket 40 core + SMT Westmere box, single 30 sec tbench
  | runs, higher is better:

  | clients     1       2       4        8       16       32       64      128

  | A nice increase in performance.

  which speedup is particularly noticeable on heavily interacting
  few-tasks workloads, so the changes should help desktop-style Xorg
  workloads and interactivity as well, on multi-core CPUs.

  There are also cpuset suspend behavior fixes/restructuring and various
  smaller tweaks."

* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched: Fix race in task_group()
  sched: Improve balance_cpu() to consider other cpus in its group as target of (pinned) task
  sched: Reset loop counters if all tasks are pinned and we need to redo load balance
  sched: Reorder 'struct lb_env' members to reduce its size
  sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations
  cpusets: Remove/update outdated comments
  cpusets, hotplug: Restructure functions that are invoked during hotplug
  cpusets, hotplug: Implement cpuset tree traversal in a helper function
  CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume
  sched/x86: Remove broken power estimation
