[PATCH 0/4] Reduce scanning of runqueues in select_idle_sibling

[Mel Gorman]

Changelog since v1
o Drop single-pass patch						(vincent)
o Scope variables used for SIS_AVG_CPU					(dietmar)
o Remove redundant assignment						(dietmar

This reduces the amount of runqueue scanning in select_idle_sibling in
the worst case.

Patch 1 removes SIS_AVG_CPU because it's unused.

Patch 2 moves all SIS_PROP-related calculations under SIS_PROP

Patch 3 improves the hit rate of p->recent_used_cpu to reduce the amount
	of scanning. It should be relatively uncontroversial

Patch 4 returns an idle candidate if one is found while scanning for a
	free core.
