sched: Add SD_PREFER_LOCAL
And turn it on for NUMA and MC domains. This improves locality in balancing decisions by keeping up to capacity amount of tasks local before looking for idle CPUs. (and twice the capacity if SD_POWERSAVINGS_BALANCE is set.) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
