UPSTREAM: 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 the waking CPU and the
previous CPU, and all CPUs within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). 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 the previous CPU has sufficient capacity for the waking task,
or not, assuming that the CPU capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
domain (sd_llc) are homogeneous.
