sched/balancing: Simplify the sg_status bitmask and use separate ->overloaded and ->overutilized flags

SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags plus the sg_status bitmask are an
unnecessary complication that only make the code harder to read and slower.

We only ever set them separately:

 thule:~/tip> git grep SG_OVER kernel/sched/
 kernel/sched/fair.c:            set_rd_overutilized_status(rq->rd, SG_OVERUTILIZED);
 kernel/sched/fair.c:                    *sg_status |= SG_OVERLOADED;
 kernel/sched/fair.c:                    *sg_status |= SG_OVERUTILIZED;
 kernel/sched/fair.c:                            *sg_status |= SG_OVERLOADED;
 kernel/sched/fair.c:            set_rd_overloaded(env->dst_rq->rd, sg_status & SG_OVERLOADED);
 kernel/sched/fair.c:                                       sg_status & SG_OVERUTILIZED);
 kernel/sched/fair.c:    } else if (sg_status & SG_OVERUTILIZED) {
 kernel/sched/fair.c:            set_rd_overutilized_status(env->dst_rq->rd, SG_OVERUTILIZED);
 kernel/sched/sched.h:#define SG_OVERLOADED              0x1 /* More than one runnable task on a CPU. */
 kernel/sched/sched.h:#define SG_OVERUTILIZED            0x2 /* One or more CPUs are over-utilized. */
 kernel/sched/sched.h:           set_rd_overloaded(rq->rd, SG_OVERLOADED);

And use them separately, which results in suboptimal code:

                /* update overload indicator if we are at root domain */
                set_rd_overloaded(env->dst_rq->rd, sg_status & SG_OVERLOADED);

                /* Update over-utilization (tipping point, U >= 0) indicator */
                set_rd_overutilized_status(env->dst_rq->rd,

Introduce separate sg_overloaded and sg_overutilized flags in update_sd_lb_stats()
and its lower level functions, and change all of them to 'bool'.

Remove the now unused SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags.
