[PATCH] sched/fair: Add SMT4 group_smt_balance handling

From: Shrikanth Hegde
Date: Mon Jul 17 2023 - 10:59:19 EST


From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For SMT4, any group with more than 2 tasks will be marked as
group_smt_balance. Retain the behaviour of group_has_spare by marking
the busiest group as the group which has the least number of idle_cpus.

Also, handle rounding effect of adding (ncores_local + ncores_busy)
when the local is fully idle and busy group has more than 2 tasks.
Local group should try to pull at least 1 task in this case.
