Subject: [PATCH v2 10/23] sched/cache: Check local_group only once in update_sg_lb_stats()

There is no need to check the local group twice for both group_asym_packing
and group_smt_balance. Adjust the code to facilitate future checks for group
types (cache-aware load balancing) as well.

No functional changes are expected.
