sched: add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level for sched_mc>0
Impact: change task balancing to save power more agressively
Add SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag at MC level and CPU level
if sched_mc is set. This helps power savings and
will not affect performance when sched_mc=0
Ingo and Mike Galbraith have optimised the SD flags by
removing SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE at MC and CPU level. This
helps performance but hurts power savings since this
slows down task consolidation by reducing the number
of times load_balance is run.

This patch selectively enables SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag
only when sched_mc is set to 1 or 2. This helps power savings
by task consolidation and also does not hurt performance at
sched_mc=0 where all power saving optimisations are turned off.
