x86/resctrl: Add cpumask_any_housekeeping() for limbo/overflow

maillist inclusion
category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8T2RT

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git/log/?h=mpam/snapshot/v6.7-rc2



---------------------------

The limbo and overflow code picks a CPU to use from the domain's list
of online CPUs. Work is then scheduled on these CPUs to maintain
the limbo list and any counters that may overflow.

cpumask_any() may pick a CPU that is marked nohz_full, which will
either penalise the work that CPU was dedicated to, or delay the
processing of limbo list or counters that may overflow. Perhaps
indefinitely. Delaying the overflow handling will skew the bandwidth
values calculated by mba_sc, which expects to be called once a second.

Add cpumask_any_housekeeping() as a replacement for cpumask_any()
that prefers housekeeping CPUs. This helper will still return
a nohz_full CPU if that is the only option. The CPU to use is
re-evaluated each time the limbo/overflow work runs. This ensures
the work will move off a nohz_full CPU once a housekeeping CPU is
available.
