sched: actively migrate tasks to idle big CPUs during sched boost
The sched boost feature is currently tick driven, i.e. task placement
decisions only take place at a tick (or wakeup). The load balancer
does not have any knowledge of boost being in effect. Tasks that are
woken up on a little CPU when all big CPUs are busy will continue
executing there at least until the next tick even if one of the big
CPUs becomes idle. Reduce this latency by adding support for detecting
whether boost is in effect or not in the load balancer. If boost is
in effect any big CPU running idle balance will trigger active
migration from a little CPU with the highest task load.
