Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] sched/topology: Define and use shortcut pointers for wakeup sd_flag scan

Reworking select_task_rq_fair()'s domain walk exposed that !want_affine
wakeups only look for highest sched_domain with the required sd_flag
set. This is something we can cache at sched domain build time to slightly
optimize select_task_rq_fair(). Note that this isn't a "free" optimization:
it costs us 3 pointers per CPU.

Add cached per-CPU pointers for the highest domains with SD_BALANCE_WAKE,
SD_BALANCE_EXEC and SD_BALANCE_FORK. Use them in select_task_rq_fair().
