sched: run idle_balance() on most power-efficient CPU
When a CPU goes idle, it checks to see whether it can pull any load
from other busy CPUs. The CPU going idle may not be the most
power-efficient idle CPU in the system however.
This patch causes the CPU going idle to check to see whether
there is a more power-efficient idle CPU within the same
lowest sched domain. If there is, then it runs the load balancer
on behalf of that CPU instead of itself.
Since it is unknown at this point what task load would be pulled,
a frequency must be assumed for this in order to do a comparison
of CPU power consumption. The maximum freqeuncy supported by all
CPUs is used for this.
