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.
