Add a scheduling granularity enum ("cpu", "core", "socket") for
specification of the scheduling granularity. Initially it is set to
"cpu", this can be modified by the new boot parameter (x86 only)
"sched-gran".

According to the selected granularity sched_granularity is set after
all cpus are online.

A test is added for all sched resources holding the same number of
cpus. Fall back to core- or cpu-scheduling in that case.

RFC V2:
- fixed freeing of sched_res when merging cpus
- rename parameter to "sched-gran" (Jan Beulich)
- rename parameter option from "thread" to "cpu" (Jan Beulich)

V1:
- rename scheduler_smp_init() to scheduler_gran_init(), let it be called
  by cpupool_init()
- avoid using literal cpu number 0 in scheduler_percpu_init() (Jan Beulich)
- style correction (Jan Beulich)
- fallback to smaller granularity instead of panic in case of
  unbalanced cpu configuration

I'm surprised by the x86 dependency here: I didn't think HT or multi-
core are x86-only concepts. Even if Arm may not want this right now,
I think it would be better to have a dedicated Kconfig setting, which
for now only x86 would select.

Also there are several missing blanks here.

Fine with me.

I just wanted to highlight that ARM is missing some code in the context
switching area.

Oh, indeed!

Might be me (non-native speaker), but this reads weird.

Perhaps the second sentence should have ended with "is that _is_not_
the case" ?

As in, "if it is not the case that all sched resources hold the same
number of cpus, we fallback". While right now it seems to me to say
that we fall back in the case that the resources hold the same number
of cpus...
