#1428991 — [PATCH v2 07/13] sched/fair: Let asymmetric cpu configurations balance at wake-up

Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for all the cpu capacities
available within the SD_WAKE_AFFINE sched_domain. If not, let wakeup
balancing take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).

This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
cpu and prev_cpu has sufficient capacity for the waking task, or not.

It is assumed that the sched_group(s) containing the waker cpu and
prev_cpu only contain cpu with the same capacity (homogeneous).

Ideally, we shouldn't set 'want_affine' in the first place, but we don't
know if SD_BALANCE_WAKE is enabled on the sched_domain(s) until we start
traversing them.
