Subject: [RFC PATCH v2] sched/fair: select idle cpu from idle cpumask in sched domain
Added idle cpumask to track idle cpus in sched domain. When a CPU
enters idle, its corresponding bit in the idle cpumask will be set,
and when the CPU exits idle, its bit will be cleared.
When a task wakes up to select an idle cpu, scanning idle cpumask
has low cost than scanning all the cpus in last level cache domain,
especially when the system is heavily loaded.
The following benchmarks were tested on a x86 4 socket system with
24 cores per socket and 2 hyperthreads per core, total 192 CPUs:
uperf throughput: netperf workload, tcp_nodelay, r/w size = 90

v1->v2:
- idle cpumask is updated in the nohz routines, by initializing idle
cpumask with sched_domain_span(sd), nohz=off case remains the original
behavior.
