[PATCH 1/5] sched/fair: ignore SIS_UTIL when has idle core

[Abel Wu]

When SIS_UTIL is enabled, SIS domain scan will be skipped if
the LLC is overloaded. Since the overloaded status is checked
in the load balancing at LLC level, the interval is llc_size
miliseconds. The duration might be long enough to affect the
overall system throughput if idle cores are out of reach in
SIS domain scan.
