sched: Implement hierarchical task accounting for SCHED_OTHER
Introduce hierarchical task accounting for the group scheduling case in CFS, as well as promoting the responsibility for maintaining rq->nr_running to the scheduling classes. The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate and de-activate operations. This in turn leads to incorrect idle and weight-per-task load balance decisions. This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task() under group scheduling. Note: this issue also exists with the existing sched_rt throttling mechanism. This patch does not address that.
