[107/123] sched: Fix vmark regression on big machines

[Greg KH]

From: Mike Galbraith <efault@xxxxxx>

commit 50b926e439620c469565e8be0f28be78f5fca1ce upstream

SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set at the CPU domain level if power saving isn't
enabled, leading to many cache misses on large machines as we traverse
looking for an idle shared cache to wake to.  Change the enabler of
select_idle_sibling() to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, and enable same at the
sibling domain level.
