sched: Create a helper function to calculate imbalance
Move all the imbalance calculation out of find_busiest_group() through this helper function. With this change, the structure of find_busiest_group() will be as follows: - update_sched_domain_statistics. - check if imbalance exits. - update imbalance and return busiest.
