sched/topology: Don't set SD_BALANCE_WAKE on cpuset domain relax

As pointed out in commit

182a85f8a119 ("sched: Disable wakeup balancing")

SD_BALANCE_WAKE is a tad too aggressive, and is usually left unset.

However, it turns out cpuset domain relaxation will unconditionally set it
on domains below the relaxation level. This made sense back when
SD_BALANCE_WAKE was set unconditionally, but it no longer is the case.

We can improve things slightly by noticing that set_domain_attribute() is
always called after sd_init(), so rather than setting flags we can rely on
whatever sd_init() is doing and only clear certain flags when above the
relaxation level.

While at it, slightly clean up the function and flip the relax level
check to be more human readable.
