sched/fair: Optimize select_idle_cpu

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.6-rc1
commit 60588bfa
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 38260, https://bugzilla.openeuler.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22


CVE: NA
---------------------------

select_idle_cpu() will scan the LLC domain for idle CPUs,
it's always expensive. so the next commit :

	1ad3aaf3 ("sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu()")

introduces a way to limit how many CPUs we scan.

But it consume some CPUs out of 'nr' that are not allowed
for the task and thus waste our attempts. The function
always return nr_cpumask_bits, and we can't find a CPU
which our task is allowed to run.

Cpumask may be too big, similar to select_idle_core(), use
per_cpu_ptr 'select_idle_mask' to prevent stack overflow.

Fixes: 1ad3aaf3 ("sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu()")
