Subject: [PATCH v7 5/7] sched/fair: Use the same cpumask per-PD throughout find_energy_efficient_cpu()

From: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@....com>

The Perf Domain (PD) cpumask (struct em_perf_domain.cpus) stays
invariant after Energy Model creation, i.e. it is not updated after
CPU hotplug operations.

That's why the PD mask is used in conjunction with the cpu_online_mask
(or Sched Domain cpumask). Thereby the cpu_online_mask is fetched
multiple times (in compute_energy()) during a run-queue selection
for a task.

cpu_online_mask may change during this time which can lead to wrong
energy calculations.

To be able to avoid this, use the select_rq_mask per-cpu cpumask to
create a cpumask out of PD cpumask and cpu_online_mask and pass it
through the function calls of the EAS run-queue selection path.

The PD cpumask for max_spare_cap_cpu/compute_prev_delta selection
(find_energy_efficient_cpu()) is now ANDed not only with the SD mask
but also with the cpu_online_mask. This is fine since this cpumask
has to be in syc with the one used for energy computation
(compute_energy()).
An exclusive cpuset setup with at least one asymmetric CPU capacity
island (hence the additional AND with the SD cpumask) is the obvious
exception here.
