Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads within a core on a POWER7 system. In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core) is completely busy or we have idle cpu. The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING: (cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu) already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu, because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain has no idle cpu. Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.
