This patchset does a cleanup on the parameters passed from the function 'trigger_load_balance' to the underneath functions.
The cpu is passed as parameter to the different functions as well as the struct rq but this one contains already the cpu information. Moreover, in the call stack for these functions, we have the struct rq retrieved from the cpu, and then the cpu retrieve from the struct rq, etc ...
The patchset unifies all these functions to have a struct rq parameter and removes the pointless parameters.
