[PATCH v6 03/23] cpumask: Introduce cpu_preferred_mask

[Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.ibm.com>]

Provide cpu_preferred_mask infrastructure. Define get/set macros
which could be used to get/set CPU state as preferred.

Values are set/clear by the new driver called steal_monitor.
It periodically samples the steal time and decides preferred CPU state.

A CPU is set to preferred when it becomes active. Later it may be
marked as non-preferred depending on steal time values with
steal_monitor being enabled.

Always maintain design construct of preferred is subset of active.
i.e. preferred ⊆ active ⊆ online ⊆ present ⊆ possible

With PREFERRED_CPU=n, set is nop and get returns active state.

v5->v6:
- Make it nop for PREFERRED_CPU=n
- Make it EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
