cfs load_balance only takes care of CFS tasks whereas CPUs can be used by
other scheduling class. Typically, a CFS task preempted by a RT or deadline
task will not get a chance to be pulled on another CPU because the
load_balance doesn't take into account tasks from other classes.
Add sum of nr_running in the statistics and use it to detect such
situation.

Patch is ok but it'll be easier in the future to mix up sum_nr_running
and sum_h_nr_running in the future. Might be best to make sum_nr_running
sum_any_running and the hierarchy one sum_cfs_running. I don't feel
strongly either way, because it's almost certainly due to the fact I
almost never care about non-cfs tasks when thinking about the scheduler.
