sched: Highest energy aware balancing sched_domain level pointer

Add another member to the family of per-cpu sched_domain shortcut
pointers. This one, sd_ea, points to the highest level at which energy
model is provided. At this level and all levels below all sched_groups
have energy model data attached.

Partial energy model information is possible but restricted to providing
energy model data for lower level sched_domains (sd_ea and below) and
leaving load-balancing on levels above to non-energy-aware
load-balancing. For example, it is possible to apply energy-aware
scheduling within each socket on a multi-socket system and let normal
scheduling handle load-balancing between sockets.
