When both local and busiest group are group_fully_busy type, because
the avg_load of the group of type group_fully_busy is not calculated, the
avg_load value is equal to 0. In this case, load balancing will not actually 
done, because after a series of calculations in the calculate_imbalance, it 
will be considered that load balance is not required. Therefore,it is not
necessary to enter calculate_imbalance to do some useless work.

We are there because both local and busiest are not overloaded, local
is idle or newly_idle and there might be an opportunity to pull a
waiting task on local to use this local cpu. I wonder if we should not
cover this opportunity in calculate_imbalance instead of skipping it
