[PATCH] sched/fair: remove redundant test_idle_cores for non-smt

[Barry Song]

update_idle_core() is only done for the case of sched_smt_present.
but test_idle_cores() is done for all machines even those without
smt.
this could contribute to up 8%+ hackbench performance loss on a
machine like kunpeng 920 which has no smt. this patch removes the
redundant test_idle_cores() for non-smt machines.

we run the below hackbench with different -g parameter from 2 to
14, for each different g, we run the command 10 times and get the
average time:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g $1

hackbench will report the time which is needed to complete a certain
number of messages transmissions between a certain number of tasks,
for example:
$ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g 10
Running in threaded mode with 10 groups using 40 file descriptors each
(== 400 tasks)
Each sender will pass 20000 messages of 100 bytes

The below is the result of hackbench w/ and w/o this patch:
g=    2      4     6       8      10     12      14
w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929
w/ : 1.8428 3.7436 5.4501 6.9522 8.2882  9.9535 11.3367
                          +4.1%  +8.3%  +7.3%   +6.3%
