Subject: [RESEND RFC PATCH v2 15/29] sched/topology: Introduce percpu sd_nohz for nohz state tracking

Add a per-CPU "sd_nohz" variable to track domains in the local CPU's
hierarchy that have "sd->shared" set for nohz idle tracking.

Convert cpu_set_sd_state_*() to use "sd_nohz" instead of "sd_llc"
increasing the scope of tracking to all CPUs with non-NULL sd hierarchy
attached as opposed to just those CPUs with a "sd_llc" domain.

"sd_nohz" will be used in a subsequent commit to transition
nohz_balancer_kick() to use the distributed nohz idle tracking.
