There is 4 situations in the function:
1, no task allowed group;
so min_load = ULONG_MAX, this_load = 0, idlest = NULL
2, only local group task allowed;
so min_load = ULONG_MAX, this_load assigned, idlest = NULL
3, only non-local task group allowed;
so min_load assigned, this_load = 0, idlest != NULL
4, local group + another group are task allowed.
so min_load assigned, this_load assigned, idlest != NULL
Current logical will return NULL in first 3 kinds of scenarios.
And still return NULL, if idlest group is heavier then the
local group in the 4th situation.
Actually, I thought groups in situation 2,3 are also eligible to host
the task. And in 4th situation, agree to bias toward local group.
So, has this patch.
