Subject: [PATCH v2 05/23] sched/cache: Assign preferred LLC ID to processes

With cache-aware scheduling enabled, each task is assigned a
preferred LLC ID. This allows quick identification of the LLC domain
where the task prefers to run, similar to numa_preferred_nid in
NUMA balancing.

Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@...ux.intel.com>

Notes:
    v1->v2: Align preferred LLC with NUMA balancing's preferred node.
