sched/tune: Introducing a new schedtune attribute prefer_idle
Hint to enable biasing of tasks towards idle cpus, even when a given task is negatively boosted. The mechanism allows upto 20% reduction in camera power without hurting performance. bug: 28312446 Change-Id: I97ea5671aa1e6bcb165408b41e17bc82e41c2c9e
