sched/fair: improve big task placement



When a task that should run on the highest cluster is being placed and
if all the cpus in the highest cluster are either not available or
cannot accommodate this task, we could end up placing this task on
the smallest cpu.

Instead place this task on the most spare capacity cpu.
