IMHO, this will work nicely and its way easier.

Another idea might be to check if the LBF_ALL_PINNED is set when we
check if we should clean the imbalance flag.

@@ -8307,14 +8307,13 @@ static int load_balance(int this_cpu, struct rq *this_rq,

* constraints. Clear the imbalance flag if it was set.
*/
- if (sd_parent) {
+ if (sd_parent && !(env.flags & LBF_ALL_PINNED)) {
int *group_imbalance = &sd_parent->groups->sgc->imbalance;

if (*group_imbalance)
*group_imbalance = 0;
}

But I think preventing a needless redo loop is even better ...
