sched: Enable idle balance to pull single task towards cpu with higher capacity

We do not want to miss out on the ability to pull a single remaining
task from a potential source cpu towards an idle destination cpu. Add an
extra criteria to need_active_balance() to kick off active load balance
if the source cpu is over-utilized and has lower capacity than the
destination cpu.
