Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/11] sched: Add sched_llc_complete static key to specify whether the LLC covers all CPUs

This static key tells whether all CPUs share last level cache, which is
common in single-socket x86 boxes. This allows us to know better to fast
select an idle sibling in select_task_rq_fair().
