FROMLIST: sched/fair: Use wake_q length as a hint for wake_wide

This patch adds a parameter to select_task_rq, sibling_count_hint
allowing the caller, where it has this information, to inform the
sched_class the number of tasks that are being woken up as part of
the same event.

The wake_q mechanism is one case where this information is available.

select_task_rq_fair can then use the information to detect that it
needs to widen the search space for task placement in order to avoid
overloading the last-level cache domain's CPUs.

                               * * *

The reason I am investigating this change is the following use case
on ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU capacity): 1 task per CPU, which
all repeatedly do X amount of work then
pthread_barrier_wait (i.e. sleep until the last task finishes its X
and hits the barrier). On big.LITTLE, the tasks which get a "big" CPU
finish faster, and then those CPUs pull over the tasks that are still
running:

     v CPU v           ->time->

                    -------------
   0  (big)         11111  /333
                    -------------
   1  (big)         22222   /444|
                    -------------
   2  (LITTLE)      333333/
                    -------------
   3  (LITTLE)      444444/
                    -------------

Now when task 4 hits the barrier (at |) and wakes the others up,
there are 4 tasks with prev_cpu=<big> and 0 tasks with
prev_cpu=<little>. want_affine therefore means that we'll only look
in CPUs 0 and 1 (sd_llc), so tasks will be unnecessarily coscheduled
on the bigs until the next load balance, something like this:

     v CPU v           ->time->

                    ------------------------
   0  (big)         11111  /333  31313\33333
                    ------------------------
   1  (big)         22222   /444|424\4444444
                    ------------------------
   2  (LITTLE)      333333/          \222222
                    ------------------------
   3  (LITTLE)      444444/            \1111
                    ------------------------
                                 ^^^
                           underutilization

So, I'm trying to get want_affine = 0 for these tasks.

I don't _think_ any incarnation of the wakee_flips mechanism can help
us here because which task is waker and which tasks are wakees
generally changes with each iteration.

However pthread_barrier_wait (or more accurately FUTEX_WAKE) has the
nice property that we know exactly how many tasks are being woken, so
we can cheat.

It might be a disadvantage that we "widen" _every_ task that's woken in
an event, while select_idle_sibling would work fine for the first
sd_llc_size - 1 tasks.

IIUC, if wake_affine() behaves correctly this trick wouldn't be
necessary on SMP systems, so it might be best guarded by the presence
of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY?

                               * * *

Final note..

In order to observe "perfect" behaviour for this use case, I also had
to disable the TTWU_QUEUE sched feature. Suppose during the wakeup
above we are working through the work queue and have placed tasks 3
and 2, and are about to place task 1:

     v CPU v           ->time->

                    --------------
   0  (big)         11111  /333  3
                    --------------
   1  (big)         22222   /444|4
                    --------------
   2  (LITTLE)      333333/      2
                    --------------
   3  (LITTLE)      444444/          <- Task 1 should go here
                    --------------

If TTWU_QUEUE is enabled, we will not yet have enqueued task
2 (having instead sent a reschedule IPI) or attached its load to CPU
2. So we are likely to also place task 1 on cpu 2. Disabling
TTWU_QUEUE means that we enqueue task 2 before placing task 1,
solving this issue. TTWU_QUEUE is there to minimise rq lock
contention, and I guess that this contention is less of an issue on
big.LITTLE systems since they have relatively few CPUs, which
suggests the trade-off makes sense here.
