It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently). As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in other cfs_rq on same CPU. Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.
