sched/fair: Fix rounding bug for asym packing 

When check_asym_packing() is triggered, the imbalance is set to:

  busiest_stat.avg_load * busiest_stat.group_capacity / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE

But busiest_stat.avg_load equals:

  sgs->group_load * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE / sgs->group_capacity

These divisions can generate a rounding that will make imbalance
slightly lower than the weighted load of the cfs_rq.  But this is
enough to skip the rq in find_busiest_queue() and prevents asym
migration from happening.

Directly set imbalance to busiest's sgs->group_load to remove the
rounding.
