[PATCH 4/4] sched/fair: Add more core cookie check in wake up fast path

[Fernand Sieber]

The fast path in select_idle_sibling() can place tasks on CPUs without
considering core scheduling constraints, potentially causing immediate
force idle when the sibling runs an incompatible task.

Add cookie compatibility checks before selecting a CPU in the fast path.
This prevents placing waking tasks on CPUs where the sibling is running
an incompatible task, reducing force idle occurrences.
