If we want to stay on something similar to the previous behavior, we
want to check on all cores if test_idle_cores is true so nr should be
set to number of cores

and if there is no idle core, nr should be divided by sched_smt_weight
so we will only scan a limited number of core

and you can always call select_idle_core()
