sched/fair: Fix comment in calculate_imbalance()
The comment in calculate_imbalance() was introduced in commit:
2dd73a4f09be ("[PATCH] sched: implement smpnice")
which described the logic as it was then, but a later commit:
b18855500fc4 ("sched/balancing: Fix 'local->avg_load > sds->avg_load' case in calculate_imbalance()")
.. complicated this logic some more so that the comment does not match anymore.
Update the comment to match the code.
