sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()

Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not
is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct
relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place
this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration
for sched_group_cpus.

In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function.
And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is
appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not
a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately.

With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better
compiler optimization.

Below is result of this patch.

In addition, rename @balance to @continue_balancing in order to represent
its purpose more clearly.
