power increase issue on light load

commit c8b281161dfa4bb5d5be63fb036ce19347b88c63 causes light load
benchmark use more than 10% system power on platform NHM-EP and laptop
Thinkpad T410 etc. The benchmarks are specpower and bltk office.
I tried to track this issue, but only find deep C sate time reduced
much, about from 90% to 30~40%, the C0 or C1 state increase much on
different machines.
Powertop just hints RES interrupts has a bit more. but when I try "perf
probe native_smp_send_reschedule". I didn't find much.
I also checked the /proc/schedstat, just can sure the load_balance was
called a bit more frequency. but pull_task() was called really rare.
The following are the /proc/schedstat increased number in about 300' when do bltk-office.
The getting command is here:
#on a 16 LCPU system, with 3 level domain, 0,1,2, so all domain number
is 48, the domain statistic number is 2 + 36, so fs=38,
$cat /proc/schedstat > schedstat ; sleep x ; cat /proc/schedstat >>
schedstat ; cat schedstat | grep domain | sed '49 i \\n' | awk -v fs=38
'BEGIN { RS=""; FS=" " } { if ( NR ==1) for (i=0; i<NF; i++)
{ value1[i]=$i ; } ; if ( NR ==2) for (i=0; i<NF; i++) { value2[i]=
$i } } END {ORS=" "; for (i=0;i<NF;i++){ if (i%fs == 0) ll="\n"; else
ll=""; print value2[i] - value1[i] ll }; print "\n" }'
BTW, the imbalance increasing is due to the SCALE increase about 1024.
