sched: update the packing cpu list

Use the activity statistics to update the list of CPUs that should be used
to hanlde the current system activity.

The cpu_power is updated for CPUs that don't participate to the packing
effort. We consider that their cpu_power is allocated to idleness as it
could be allocated by rt. So the cpu_power that remains available for cfs,
is set to min value (i.e. 1).

The cpu_power is used for a task that wakes up because a waking up task is
already taken into account in the current activity whereas we use the
power_available for a fork and exec because the task is not part of the current
activity.

In order to quickly found the packing starting point, we save information that
will be used to directly start with the right sched_group at the right
sched_domain level instead of running the complete update_packing_domain
algorithm each time we need to use the packing cpu list.

The sd_power_leader defines the leader of a group of CPU that can't be
powergated independantly. As soon as this CPU is used, all the CPU in the same
group will be used based on the fact that it doesn't worth to keep some cores
idle if they can't be power gated while one core in the group is running.
The sd_pack_group and sd_pack_domain are used to quickly check if a power
leader should be used in the packing effort
