[PATCH v3 2/6] sched/fair: Optimize checking for group_asym_packing

[Ricardo Neri]

sched_asmy_prefer(a, b) returns true if the priority of cpu a is bigger
than the priority of b. dst_cpu belongs to the local group. It follows
that its priority is equal or less than the priority of the preferred
CPU of the local group. Thus, sched_asmy_prefer() always returns false
when called on the local group.

By checking local_group, we can avoid additional checks and invoking
sched_asmy_prefer() when it is not needed.
