sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive
Kitsunyan reported desktop latency issues on his Celeron 887 because of commit: 1b568f0aabf2 ("sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT") ... even though his CPU doesn't do SMT. The effect of running the SMT code on a !SMT part is basically a more aggressive select_idle_cpu(). Removing the avg condition fixed things for him. I also know FB likes this test gone, even though other workloads like having it. For now, take it out by default, until we get a better idea.
