sched: revert load_balance_monitor() changes

The following commits cause a number of regressions:

  commit 58e2d4ca581167c2a079f4ee02be2f0bc52e8729
  Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

  sched: group scheduling, change how cpu load is calculated

  commit 6b2d7700266b9402e12824e11e0099ae6a4a6a79
  Author: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
  Date:   Fri Jan 25 21:08:00 2008 +0100
  sched: group scheduler, fix fairness of cpu bandwidth allocation for task groups

Namely:
 - very frequent wakeups on SMP, reported by PowerTop users.
 - cacheline trashing on (large) SMP
 - some latencies larger than 500ms

While there is a mergeable patch to fix the latter, the former issues
are not fixable in a manner suitable for .25 (we're at -rc3 now).

Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.
