That should work to skip IDLE CPUs... however I'm missing where now we
get the sugov_get_util(j_sg_cpu) for active CPUs. It has been moved
somewhere else I guess...
Moreover, that way don't we completely disregard CFS blocked load for
IDLE CPUs... as well as DL reserved utilization, which should be
released only at the 0-lag time?
