sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted

alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active
load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the
source rq prefers its LLC:

	env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable

But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated
in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued,
so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/
clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks.

So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted
in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks,
alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task
off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this
is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB
skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one
we want.

Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in
nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC
(pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership
once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through
pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that
change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(),
set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same
predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting
or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering.

nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued
semantics.

+
+Diffconfig is a simple utility for comparing two .config files.
+Using standard diff to compare .config files often includes extraneous and
+distracting information.  This utility produces sorted output with only the
+changes in configuration values between the two files.
+
+Added and removed items are shown with a leading plus or minus, respectively.
+Changed items show the old and new values on a single line.
+
+If -m is specified, then output will be in "merge" style, which has the
+changed and new values in kernel config option format.
+
+If no config files are specified, .config and .config.old are used.
+
+Example usage:
+ $ diffconfig .config config-with-some-changes
+-EXT2_FS_XATTR  n
+ CRAMFS  n -> y
+ EXT2_FS  y -> n
+ LOG_BUF_SHIFT  14 -> 16
+ PRINTK_TIME  n -> y
