Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] sched/fair: Simplify some logic in update_sd_pick_busiest()
Date: Sat,  3 Feb 2024 22:46:18 -0600

When comparing the current struct sched_group with the yet-busiest
domain in update_sd_pick_busiest(), if the two groups have the same
group type, we're currently doing a bit of unnecessary work for any
group >= group_misfit_task. We're comparing the two groups, and then
returning only if false (the group in question is not the busiest).
Othewise, we break, do an extra unnecessary conditional check that's
vacuously false for any group type > group_fully_busy, and then always
return true.

Let's just return directly in the switch statement instead. This doesn't
change the size of vmlinux with llvm 17 (not surprising given that all
of this is inlined in load_balance()), but it does shrink load_balance()
by 88 bytes on x86. Given that it also improves readability, this seems
worth doing.

As a bonus, remove an unnecessary goto in update_sd_lb_stats().
