Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] sched/topology: Add more flags to the SD degeneration mask

I don't think it is going to change much in practice, but we were missing
those:

o SD_BALANCE_WAKE: Used just like the other SD_BALANCE_* flags, so also
  needs > 1 group.
o SD_ASYM_PACKING: Hinges on load balancing (periodic / wakeup), thus needs
  > 1 group to happen
o SD_OVERLAP: Describes domains with overlapping groups; can't have
  overlaps with a single group.

SD_PREFER_SIBLING is as always the odd one out: we currently consider it
in sd_parent_degenerate() but not in sd_degenerate(). It too hinges on load
balancing, and thus won't have any effect when set on a domain with a
single group. Add it to the sd_degenerate() groups mask.
