sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling

The previous commit:

  c6e7bd7a: ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")

avoids spinning on p->on_rq when the task is descheduling, but only if the
wakee is on a CPU that does not share cache with the waker.

This patch offloads the activation of the wakee to the CPU that is about to
go idle if the task is the only one on the runqueue. This potentially allows
the waker task to continue making progress when the wakeup is not strictly
synchronous.

This is very obvious with netperf UDP_STREAM running on localhost. The
waker is sending packets as quickly as possible without waiting for any
reply. It frequently wakes the server for the processing of packets and
when netserver is using local memory, it quickly completes the processing
and goes back to idle. The waker often observes that netserver is on_rq
and spins excessively leading to a drop in throughput.

This is a comparison of 5.7-rc6 against "sched: Optimize ttwu() spinning
on p->on_cpu" and against this patch labeled vanilla, optttwu-v1r1 and
localwakelist-v1r2 respectively.

Note that this benefit is not universal to all wakeups, it only applies
to the case where the waker often spins on p->on_rq.

The impact can be seen from a "perf sched latency" report generated from
a single iteration of one packet size:

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Task                  |   Runtime ms  | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms | Maximum delay at       |

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

Note that the average wakeup delay is quite small on both the vanilla
kernel and with the two patches applied. However, there are significant
outliers with the vanilla kernel with the maximum one measured as 1615
milliseconds with a vanilla kernel but never worse than 0.362 ms with
both patches applied and a much higher rate of context switching.

Similarly a separate profile of cycles showed that 2.83% of all cycles
were spent in try_to_wake_up() with almost half of the cycles spent
on spinning on p->on_rq. With the two patches, the percentage of cycles
spent in try_to_wake_up() drops to 1.13%
