balance_scx() should be a no-op if CONFIG_SCHED_SMT is undefined or we
may get a build error here.

For example with a minimal ppc64le config (and CONFIG_SCHED_SMT off) I
can reproduce this:

 ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/smp.h:139:22: error: implicit declaration of function 'cpu_smt_mask'; did you mean 'cpu_cpu_mask'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

So maybe have something like this (or similar):

#ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
...
#else
static inline int balance_scx(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
		       struct rq_flags *rf)
{
	return 0
}
#endif

Thanks,
