sched/topology: Add lowest CPU asymmetry sched_domain level pointer
Add another member to the family of per-cpu sched_domain shortcut pointers. This one, sd_asym_cpucapacity, points to the lowest level at which the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag is set. While at it, rename the sd_asym shortcut to sd_asym_packing to avoid confusions. Generally speaking, the largest opportunity to save energy via scheduling comes from a smarter exploitation of heterogeneous platforms (i.e. big.LITTLE). Consequently, the sd_asym_cpucapacity shortcut will be used at first as the lowest domain where Energy-Aware Scheduling (EAS) should be applied. For example, it is possible to apply EAS within a socket on a multi-socket system, as long as each socket has an asymmetric topology. Energy-aware cross-sockets wake-up balancing will only happen when the system is over-utilized, or this_cpu and prev_cpu are in different sockets.
