[PATCH] sched: relax pinned balancing
The maximum rebalance interval allowed by the multiprocessor balancing backoff is often not large enough to handle corner cases where there are lots of tasks pinned on a CPU. Suresh reported: I see system livelock's if for example I have 7000 processes pinned onto one cpu (this is on the fastest 8-way system I have access to). After this patch, the machine is reported to go well above this number.
