The task, for which the scheduler looks for the idlest group of CPUs, must
be discounted from all statistics in order to get a fair comparison
between groups. This includes utilization, load, nr_running and idle_cpus.

Such unfairness can be easily highlighted with the unixbench execl 1 task.
This test continuously call execve() and the scheduler looks for the idlest
group/CPU on which it should place the task. Because the task runs on the
local group/CPU, the latter seems already busy even if there is nothing
else running on it. As a result, the scheduler will always select another
group/CPU than the local one.

This recovers most of the performance regression on my system from the
recent load-balancer rewrite.
