sched: Add comments to find_busiest_group() function

Browse source 
Impact: cleanup

Add /** style comments around find_busiest_group(). Also add a few
explanatory comments.

This concludes the find_busiest_group() cleanup. The function is
now down to 72 lines from the original 313 lines.

/*
* find_busiest_group finds and returns the busiest CPU group within the

/**
* find_busiest_group - Returns the busiest group within the sched_domain
* if there is an imbalance. If there isn't an imbalance, and
* the user has opted for power-savings, it returns a group whose
* CPUs can be put to idle by rebalancing those tasks elsewhere, if
* such a group exists.
*
* Also calculates the amount of weighted load which should be moved
* to restore balance.
*
* @sd: The sched_domain whose busiest group is to be returned.
* @this_cpu: The cpu for which load balancing is currently being performed.
* @imbalance: Variable which stores amount of weighted load which should
* be moved to restore balance/put a group to idle.
* @idle: The idle status of this_cpu.
* @sd_idle: The idleness of sd
* @cpus: The set of CPUs under consideration for load-balancing.
* @balance: Pointer to a variable indicating if this_cpu
* is the appropriate cpu to perform load balancing at this_level.
*
* Returns: - the busiest group if imbalance exists.
* - If no imbalance and user has opted for power-savings balance,
* return the least loaded group whose CPUs can be
* put to idle by rebalancing its tasks onto our group.
