sched/balancing: Switch the 'DEFINE_SPINLOCK(balancing)' spinlock into an 'atomic_t sched_balance_running' flag
The 'balancing' spinlock added in:
08c183f31bdb ("[PATCH] sched: add option to serialize load balancing")
... is taken when the SD_SERIALIZE flag is set in a domain, but in reality it
is a glorified global atomic flag serializing the load-balancing of
those domains.
It doesn't have any explicit locking semantics per se: we just
spin_trylock() it.
Turn it into a ... global atomic flag. This makes it more
clear what is going on here, and reduces overhead and code
size a bit:
# kernel/sched/fair.o: [x86-64 defconfig]
text data bss dec hex filename
60730 2721 104 63555 f843 fair.o.before
60718 2721 104 63543 f837 fair.o.after
Also document the flag a bit.
No change in functionality intended.
