I used only a numa node with 24cpus and 60GB memory
(scale factor: 2392) to finish the test. As mentioned
before, each numa node shares one LLC. So waker and
wakee are in same LLC domain.

Basically, the difference is just noise between using
cluster size as factor in wake_wide() and using llc size
as factor for 1/48threads, 8/48threads, 12/48threads,
24/48threads, 32/48threads. But for 48/48threads(system
is busy), using llc size as factor shows 4%+ pgbench
improvement.

                 cluster_as_factor     llc_as_factor
Hmean     1     10779.67 (   0.00%)    10869.27 *   0.83%*
Hmean     8     19595.09 (   0.00%)    19580.59 *  -0.07%*
Hmean     12    29553.06 (   0.00%)    29643.56 *   0.31%*
Hmean     24    43368.55 (   0.00%)    43194.47 *  -0.40%*
Hmean     32    40258.08 (   0.00%)    40163.23 *  -0.24%*
Hmean     48    40450.42 (   0.00%)    42249.29 *   4.45%*

I can further see 14%+ improvement for 48/48threads transactions
case if I totally don't depend on wake_wide(), that is like
wake_wide() always return 0.

                llc_as_factor          don't_use_wake_wide
Hmean     1     10869.27 (   0.00%)    10723.08 *  -1.34%*
Hmean     8     19580.59 (   0.00%)    19469.34 *  -0.57%*
Hmean     12    29643.56 (   0.00%)    29520.16 *  -0.42%*
Hmean     24    43194.47 (   0.00%)    43774.78 *   1.34%*
Hmean     32    40163.23 (   0.00%)    40742.93 *   1.44%*
Hmean     48    42249.29 (   0.00%)    48329.00 *  14.39%*

I begin to believe wake_wide() is useless while waker and wakee
are already in same LLC. So I sent another patch to address this
generic issue:
[PATCH] sched: fair: don't depend on wake_wide if waker and wakee are already in same LLC
