[PATCH v4 3/5] sched: Rename the variablesched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu

[Gautham R Shenoy]

sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu is currently used when the user seeks
power savings through aggressive task consolidation.

But this functionality is applicable for both sched_mc_power_savings as
well as sched_smt_power_savings. So rename
sched_mc_preferred_wakeup_cpu to preferred_wakeup_cpu.

Also fix the comment for preferred_wakeup_cpu.
