sched/fair: Scan cluster before scanning LLC in wake-up path

For platforms having clusters like Kunpeng920, CPUs within the same cluster
have lower latency when synchronizing and accessing shared resources like
cache. Thus, this patch tries to find an idle cpu within the cluster of the
target CPU before scanning the whole LLC to gain lower latency. This
will be implemented in 2 steps in select_idle_sibling():
1. When the prev_cpu/recent_used_cpu are good wakeup candidates, use them
   if they're sharing cluster with the target CPU. Otherwise trying to
   scan for an idle CPU in the target's cluster.
2. Scanning the cluster prior to the LLC of the target CPU for an
   idle CPU to wakeup.

Testing has been done on Kunpeng920 by pinning tasks to one numa and two
numa. On Kunpeng920, Each numa has 8 clusters and each cluster has 4 CPUs.

With this patch, We noticed enhancement on tbench and netperf within one
numa or cross two numa on top of tip-sched-core commit
9b46f1abc6d4 ("sched/debug: Print 'tgid' in sched_show_task()")

Note neither Kunpeng920 nor x86 Jacobsville supports SMT, so the SMT branch
in the code has not been tested but it supposed to work.

Chen Yu also noticed this will improve the performance of tbench and
netperf on a 24 CPUs Jacobsville machine, there are 4 CPUs in one
cluster sharing L2 Cache.
