sched: add preference for waker cluster CPU in wakee task placement
If sync wakee task's demand is small it's worth to place the wakee task
on waker's cluster for better performance in the sense that waker and
wakee are corelated so the wakee should take advantage of waker cluster's
frequency which is voted by the waker along with cache locality benefit.
While biasing towards the waker's cluster we want to avoid the waker CPU
as much as possible as placing the wakee on the waker's CPU can make the
waker got preempted and migrated by load balancer.
Introduce a new tunable 'sched_small_wakee_task_load' that differentiates
eligible small wakee task and place the small wakee tasks on the waker's
cluster.
