[PATCH 11/13] sched/balancing: Rename find_idlest_group_cpu() => sched_balance_find_dst_group_cpu()

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Fri Mar 08 2024 - 06:21:12 EST


Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.

Also use 'dst' instead of 'idlest': while historically correct,
today it's not really true anymore that we return the 'idlest'
group or CPU, we sort by idle-exit latency and only return the
idlest CPUs from the lowest-latency set of CPUs.

The true 'idlest' CPUs often remain idle for a long time
and are never returned as long as the system is under-loaded.
