Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main updates in this cycle were:

   - Group balancing enhancements and cleanups (Brendan Jackman)

   - Move CPU isolation related functionality into its separate
     kernel/sched/isolation.c file, with related 'housekeeping_*()'
     namespace and nomenclature et al. (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Improve the interactive/cpu-intense fairness calculation (Josef
     Bacik)

   - Improve the PELT code and related cleanups (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve the logic of pick_next_task_fair() (Uladzislau Rezki)

   - Improve the RT IPI based balancing logic (Steven Rostedt)

   - Various micro-optimizations:

   - better !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG optimizations (Patrick Bellasi)

   - better idle loop (Cheng Jian)

   - ... plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"
