Remove load staggering.
Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional
layer of time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a
reasonably small portion of the time slice.
For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization
later that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has
the same effect as load staggering.
