sched/fair: Fix SCHED_HRTICK bug leading to late preemption of tasks

SCHED_HRTICK feature is useful to preempt SCHED_FAIR tasks on-the-dot
(just when they would have exceeded their ideal_runtime).

It makes use of a per-CPU hrtimer resource and hence arming that
hrtimer should be based on total SCHED_FAIR tasks a CPU has across its
various cfs_rqs, rather than being based on number of tasks in a
particular cfs_rq (as implemented currently).

As a result, with current code, its possible for a running task (which
is the sole task in its cfs_rq) to be preempted much after its
ideal_runtime has elapsed, resulting in increased latency for tasks in
other cfs_rq on same CPU.

Fix this by arming sched hrtimer based on total number of SCHED_FAIR
tasks a CPU has across its various cfs_rqs.
