[RFC patch v3 15/20] sched: Introduce a new migration_type to track the preferred LLC load balance

[Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>]

Introduce a new migration type named migrate_llc_task to facilitate
cache-aware load balancing.

After the busiest sched_group is identified as the one that needs
migration due to having most tasks preferring destination LLC, tag the
migration type as the newly introduced migrate_llc_task. During load
balancing, each runqueue within the busiest preferred-LLC sched_group
is checked, and the runqueue with the highest number of tasks preferring
to run on the destination CPU is chosen as the busiest runqueue.
