I added a helper to check task and cpu cookie match, including the
entire core idle case. The refined patchset updated at here:
https://github.com/aubreyli/linux/tree/coresched_v4-v5.5.2

This branch also includes Tim's patchset. According to our testing
result, the performance data looks on par with the previous version.
A good news is, v5.4.y stability issue on our 8 numa node machine
is gone on this v5.5.2 branch.

Thanks,
