Subject: [RFC patch v3 02/20] sched: Several fixes for cache aware scheduling

From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@...el.com>

1. Fix compile error on percpu allocation.
2. Enqueue to the target CPU rather than the current CPU.
3. NULL LLC sched domain check(Libo Chen).
4. Introduce sched feature SCHED_CACHE to control cache aware scheduling
5. Fix unsigned occupancy initialization to -1.
6. If there is only 1 thread in the process, no need to enable cache
   awareness
7. Add __maybe_unused to __migrate_degrades_locality() to
   avoid compile warnings.
