sched: Strengthen buddies and mitigate buddy induced latencies

This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing
pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also
switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely
mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which
improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp
scalability.

Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the
point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely
sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively,
which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing
aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp
throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is
actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the
desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service.
Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale.

To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing
wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time.

Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via
CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Supporting performance tests:

 tip   = v2.6.32-rc5-1497-ga525b32
 tipx  = NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS NEXT_BUDDY granularity knobs = 31 knobs + 31 buddies
 tip+x = NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS granularity knobs = 31 knobs

(Three run averages except where noted.)
