sched/fair: Disable the task group load_avg update for the root_task_group
Currently, the update_tg_load_avg() function attempts to update the
tg's load_avg value whenever the load changes even for root_task_group
where the load_avg value will never be used. This patch will disable
the load_avg update when the given task group is the root_task_group.
Running a Java benchmark with noautogroup and a 4.3 kernel on a
16-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the amount of CPU time (as reported by
perf) consumed by task_tick_fair() which includes update_tg_load_avg()
decreased from 0.71% to 0.22%, a more than 3X reduction. The Max-jOPs
results also increased slightly from 983015 to 986449.
