sched/balancing: Rename load_balance() => sched_balance_rq()

Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.

Also load_balance() has become somewhat of a misnomer: historically
it was the first and primary load-balancing function that was called,
but with the introduction of sched domains, it's become a lower
layer function that balances runqueues.

Rename it to sched_balance_rq() accordingly.

 sched domains our CPU is on, starting from its base domain and going up the ->parent
 chain. While doing that, it checks to see if the current domain has exhausted its
-rebalance interval. If so, it runs load_balance() on that domain. It then checks
+rebalance interval. If so, it runs sched_balance_rq() on that domain. It then checks
 the parent sched_domain (if it exists), and the parent of the parent and so
 forth.

 If it succeeds, it looks for the busiest runqueue of all the CPUs' runqueues in
 that group. If it manages to find such a runqueue, it locks both our initial
 CPU's runqueue and the newly found busiest one and starts moving tasks from it
