Subject: [RFCv4 PATCH 31/34] sched: Energy-aware wake-up task placement

Let available compute capacity and estimated energy impact select
wake-up target cpu when energy-aware scheduling is enabled and the
system in not over-utilized (above the tipping point).

energy_aware_wake_cpu() attempts to find group of cpus with sufficient
compute capacity to accommodate the task and find a cpu with enough spare
capacity to handle the task within that group. Preference is given to
cpus with enough spare capacity at the current OPP. Finally, the energy
impact of the new target and the previous task cpu is compared to select
the wake-up target cpu.
