This is the follow-up work to support cluster scheduler. Previously
we have added cluster level in the scheduler for both ARM64[1] and
X86[2] to support load balance between clusters to bring more memory
bandwidth and decrease cache contention. This patchset, on the other
hand, takes care of wake-up path by giving CPUs within the same cluster
a try before scanning the whole LLC to benefit those tasks communicating
with each other.

[1] 778c558f49a2 ("sched: Add cluster scheduler level in core and related Kconfig for ARM64")
[2] 66558b730f25 ("sched: Add cluster scheduler level for x86")

Change since v4:
- rename cpus_share_resources to cpus_share_lowest_cache to be more informative, per Tim
- return -1 when nr==0 in scan_cluster(), per Abel
Thanks!

Change since v3:
- fix compile error when !CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER, reported by lkp test.

Change since v2:
- leverage SIS_PROP to suspend redundant scanning when LLC is overloaded
- remove the ping-pong suppression
- address the comment from Tim, thanks.

Change since v1:
- regain the performance data based on v5.17-rc1
- rename cpus_share_cluster to cpus_share_resources per Vincent and Gautham, thanks!
