numa,sched: fix load_to_imbalanced logic inversion
This function is supposed to return true if the new load imbalance is worse than the old one. It didn't. I can only hope brown paper bags are in style. Now things converge much better on both the 4 node and 8 node systems. I am not sure why this did not seem to impact specjbb performance on the 4 node system, which is the system I have full-time access to. This bug was introduced recently, with commit e63da03639cc ("sched/numa: Allow task switch if load imbalance improves") Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
