Frankly, I doubt that rq->clock is the right thing to use here, because 
it can be updated very frequently under some conditions, so that 
cfs_rq->h_load can get updated several times during the same balance 
run. Perhaps, jiffies would suit better for that purpose. This would 
work as h_load update throttler similar to how it works now (I mean 
rq->h_load_throttle in update_h_load()).

If there is something else you don't like/have some thoughts on, please 
share - I'll try to improve.

Thank you for your feedback.
