sched: Check for an idle shared cache in select_task_rq_fair()
When waking affine, check for an idle shared cache, and if
found, wake to that CPU/sibling instead of the waker's CPU.
This improves pgsql+oltp ramp up by roughly 8%. Possibly more
for other loads, depending on overlap. The trade-off is a
roughly 1% peak downturn if tasks are truly synchronous.
