sched: Fix load balancing performance regression in should_we_balance()

Commit 23f0d20 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function.  This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.

This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s
3.12-git                180k files/s            185k files/s
3.12-git-revert         245k files/s            247k files/s

This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.

With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s
3.12-git                180k files/s            185k files/s
3.12-git-revert         245k files/s            247k files/s
3.12-git-fix            249k files/s            248k files/s
