Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if
SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric
configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's
compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the waking cpu and the
previous cpu, and all cpus within their respective
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains (sd_llc). If not, let wakeup balancing
take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).

This patch makes affine wake-ups conditional on whether both the waker
cpu and prev_cpu has sufficient capacity for the waking task, or not,
assuming that the cpu capacities within an SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domain
(sd_llc) are homogeneous.
