For Energy-Aware Scheduling (EAS) to work properly, even in the
case that there is only one cpu per cluster or that cpus are hot-plugged
out, the Energy Model (EM) data on all energy-aware sched domains (sd)
has to be present for all online cpus.
Mainline sd hierarchy setup code will remove sd's which are not useful
for task scheduling e.g. in the following situations:
1. Only 1 cpu is/remains in one cluster of a multi cluster system.
This remaining cpu only has DIE and no MC sd.
2. A complete cluster in a two cluster system is hot-plugged out.
The cpus of the remaining cluster only have MC and no DIE sd.
To make sure that all online cpus keep all their energy-aware sd's,
the sd degenerate functionality has been changed to not free a sd if
its first sched group (sg) contains EM data in case:
1. There is only 1 cpu left in the sd.
2. There have to be at least 2 sg's if certain sd flags are set.
Instead of freeing such a sd it now clears only its SD_LOAD_BALANCE
flag. This will make sure that the EAS functionality will always see
all energy-aware sd's for all online cpus.
It will introduce a tiny performance degradation for operations on
affected cpus since the hot-path macro for_each_domain() has to deal
with sd's not contributing to task scheduling at all now.
In most cases the exisiting code makes sure that task scheduling is not
invoked on a sd with !SD_LOAD_BALANCE.
However, a small change is necessary in update_sd_lb_stats() to make
sure that sd->parent is only initialized to !NULL in case the parent sd
contains more than 1 sg.
The handling of newidle decay values before the SD_LOAD_BALANCE check in
rebalance_domains() stays unchanged.
