When cpudl_find() returns any among free_cpus, the cpu might not be
closer than others, considering sched domain. For example:
this_cpu: 15
free_cpus: 0, 1,..., 14 (== later_mask)
best_cpu: 0
topology:
0 --+
+--+
1 --+ |
+-- ... --+
2 --+ | |
+--+ |
3 --+ |
... ...
12 --+ |
+--+ |
13 --+ | |
+-- ... -+
14 --+ |
+--+
15 --+
In this case, it would be best to select 14 since it's a free cpu and
closest to 15(this_cpu). However, currently the code select 0(best_cpu)
even though that's just any among free_cpus. Fix it.
