    Impact: extend load-balancing code (no change in behavior yet)
    
    When the system utilisation is low and more cpus are idle,
    then the process waking up from sleep should prefer to
    wakeup an idle cpu from semi-idle cpu package (multi core
    package) rather than a completely idle cpu package which
    would waste power.
    
    Use the sched_mc balance logic in find_busiest_group() to
    nominate a preferred wakeup cpu.
    
    This info can be stored in appropriate sched_domain, but
    updating this info in all copies of sched_domain is not
    practical.  Hence this information is stored in root_domain
    struct which is one copy per partitioned sched domain.
    The root_domain can be accessed from each cpu's runqueue
    and there is one copy per partitioned sched domain.
