!1517 [OLK-5.10] Rework CPU capacity asymmetry detection

Merge Pull Request from: @liujie-248683921 
 
As of now, the asym_cpu_capacity_level will try to locate the lowest
topology level where the highest available CPU capacity is being
visible to all CPUs. This works perfectly fine for most of existing
asymmetric designs out there, though for some possible and completely
valid setups, combining different cpu microarchitectures within
clusters, this might not be the best approach, resulting in pointing
at a level, at which some of the domains might not see any asymmetry
at all. This could be problematic for misfit migration and/or energy
aware placement. And as such, for affected platforms it might result
in custom changes to wake-up and CPU selection paths.

As mentioned in the previous version, based on the available sources out there,
one of the potentially affected (by original approach) platforms might be
Exynos 9820/990 with it's 'sliced' LLC(SLC) divided between the two custom (big)
cores and the remaining A75/A55 cores, which seems to be reflected in the
made available dt entries for those platforms.

The following patches rework how the asymmetric detection is being
carried out, allowing pinning the asymmetric topology level to the lowest one,
where full range of CPU capacities is visible to all CPUs within given
sched domain. The asym_cpu_capacity_level will also keep track of those
levels where any scope of asymmetry is being observed, to denote
corresponding sched domains with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag
and to enable misfit migration for those.

In order to distinguish the sched domains with partial vs full range
of CPU capacity asymmetry, new sched domain flag has been introduced:
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL.

The overall idea of changing the asymmetry detection has been suggested
by Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>
