[PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancing

Timer interrupts already are staggered.  We do not need an additional layer of
time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small
portion of the time slice.

For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later
that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as
load staggering.
