[SPARC]: Migration cost tune up in sparc smp.
This patch sets the max_cache_size value required to tune up scheduler in SMP systems. Otherwise, the calculated migration_cost is too high and task scheduling may lock up. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
