sched: kill task_group balancing
The idea was to balance groups until we've reached the global goal, however
Vatsa rightly pointed out that we might never reach that goal this way -
hence take out this logic.
[ the initial rationale for this 'feature' was to promote max concurrency
within a group - it does not however affect fairness ]
