[PATCH] sched: consolidate sbe sbf

Consolidate balance-on-exec with balance-on-fork.  This is made easy by the
sched-domains RCU patches.

As well as the general goodness of code reduction, this allows the runqueues
to be unlocked during balance-on-fork.

schedstats is a problem.  Maybe just have balance-on-event instead of
distinguishing fork and exec?
