Subject: sched: Replace post_schedule with a balance callback list

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit e3fca9e7cbfb72694a21c886fcdf9f059cfded9c upstream.

Generalize the post_schedule() stuff into a balance callback list.
This allows us to more easily use it outside of schedule() and cross
sched_class.
