Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/11] sched: Remove SD_WAKE_AFFINE flag and replace it with SD_BALANCE_WAKE
SD_BALANCE_{FORK|EXEC|WAKE} flags are for select_task_rq() to select a
CPU to run a new task or a waking task. SD_WAKE_AFFINE is a flag to
try selecting the waker CPU to run the waking task.
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is not a sched_domain flag, but SD_WAKE_AFFINE is.
Conceptually, SD_BALANCE_WAKE should be a sched_domain flag just like
the other two, so we first make SD_BALANCE_WAKE a sched_domain flag.
Moreover, the semantic of SD_WAKE_AFFINE is included in the semantic
of SD_BALANCE_WAKE. When in wakeup balancing, it is natual to try
the waker CPU if the waker CPU is allowed, in that sense, we don't
need a separate flag to specify it, not mentioning that SD_WAKE_AFFINE
is almost enabled in every sched_domains.
With the above combined, there is no need to have SD_WAKE_AFFINE, so
we remove and replace it with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. This can be accomplished
without any functionality change.
