sched: Add cluster scheduler level in core and related Kconfig for ARM64
This patch adds scheduler level for clusters and automatically enables
the load balance among clusters. It will directly benefit a lot of
workload which loves more resources such as memory bandwidth, caches.
Testing has widely been done in two different hardware configurations of
Kunpeng920:
24 cores in one NUMA(6 clusters in each NUMA node);
32 cores in one NUMA(8 clusters in each NUMA node)
Workload is running on either one NUMA node or four NUMA nodes, thus,
this can estimate the effect of cluster spreading w/ and w/o NUMA load
balance.

Thus, it could help memory-bound workload especially under medium load.
Similar improvement is also seen in lkp-pbzip2:

In the case of 6 threads and 8 threads, we see the greatest performance
improvement.
Similar improvement can be seen on lkp-pixz though the improvement is

Note this patch isn't an universal win, it might hurt those workload
which can benefit from packing. Though tasks which want to take
advantages of lower communication latency of one cluster won't
necessarily been packed in one cluster while kernel is not aware of
clusters, they have some chance to be randomly packed. But this
patch will make them more likely spread.
