[PATCH 2/4] sched/fair: Track efficiency of task recent_used_cpu

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>]

This simply tracks the efficiency of p->recent_used_cpu. The hit rate of
this matters as it can avoid a domain search. Similarly, the miss rate
matters because each miss is a penalty to the fast path. MMTests uses
this to generate additional metrics

SIS Recent Used Hit: A recent CPU was eligible and used. Each hit is
	a domain search avoided.

SIS Recent Used Miss: A recent CPU was eligible but unavailable. Each
	time this is hit, there was a penalty to the fast path before
	a domain search happened.

SIS Recent Success Rate: A percentage of the number of hits versus
	the total attempts to use the recent CPU.

SIS Recent Attempts: The total number of times the recent CPU was examined.
	A high number of Recent Attempts with a low Success Rate implies
	the fast path is being punished severely. This could have been
	presented as a weighting of hits and misses but calculating an
	appropriate weight for misses is problematic.
