SD_LOAD_BALANCE was only for when you wanted to stop balancing inside a
domain tree. That no longer happens (and hasn't for a *long* time).
Cpusets simply creates multiple domain trees (or the empty one if its
just one CPU).

(note, that's the cgroup-v1 interface, the cgroup-v2 interface is
significantly different)

I'd suggest doing: echo 1 > /debug/sched/verbose, if I do the above I
get:

[1290785.085832] CPU38 attaching NULL sched-domain.
[1290785.091001] CPU39 attaching NULL sched-domain.

Then when I do:

# mkdir /cgroup/A
# echo 0,20 > /cgroup/A/cpuset.cpus

I get:

[1291020.749036] CPU0 attaching sched-domain(s):
[1291020.754251] domain-0: span=0,20 level=SMT
[1291020.759061] groups: 0:{ span=0 }, 20:{ span=20 }

[1291020.780831] root domain span: 0,20 (max cpu_capacity = 1024)

IOW, I've created a load-balance domain on just the first core of the
system.

# echo 0-1,20-21 > /cgroup/A/cpuset.cpus

Extends it to the first two cores:
