Subject: [PATCH v6 07/14] sched/topology: Introduce sched_energy_present static key

In order to ensure a minimal performance impact on non-energy-aware
systems, introduce a static_key guarding the access to Energy-Aware
Scheduling (EAS) code.

The static key is set iff all the following conditions are met for at
least one root domain:
  1. all online CPUs of the root domain are covered by the Energy
     Model (EM);
  2. the complexity of the root domain's EM is low enough to keep
     scheduling overheads low;
  3. the root domain has an asymmetric CPU capacity topology (detected
     by looking for the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag in the sched_domain
     hierarchy).
