Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] sched/fair: Simplify the entry condition for update_idle_cpu_scan()

Only the topmost SD_SHARE_LLC domain has the "sd->shared" assigned.
Simply use "sd->shared" as an indicator for load balancing at the highest
SD_SHARE_LLC domain in update_idle_cpu_scan() instead of relying on
llc_size.
