Subject: [PATCH 03/92] sched/fair: Consider spare capacity in
 find_idlest_group()

In low-utilization scenarios comparing relative loads in
find_idlest_group() doesn't always lead to the most optimum choice.
Systems with groups containing different numbers of cpus and/or cpus of
different compute capacity are significantly better off when considering
spare capacity rather than relative load in those scenarios.

In addition to existing load based search an alternative spare capacity
based candidate sched_group is found and selected instead if sufficient
spare capacity exists. If not, existing behaviour is preserved.
