[PATCH] sched/topology: remove sysctl_sched_energy_aware depending on the architecture

[Shrikanth Hegde]

Currently sysctl_sched_energy_aware doesn't alter the said behaviour on
some of the architectures. IIUC its meant to either force rebuild the
perf domains or cleanup the perf domains by echoing 1 or 0 respectively.

perf domains are not built when there is SMT, or when there is no
Asymmetric CPU topologies or when there is no frequency invariance.
Since such cases EAS is not set and perf domains are not built. By
changing the values of sysctl_sched_energy_aware, its not possible to
force build the perf domains. Hence remove this sysctl on such platforms
that dont support it at boot. Some of the settings can be changed later
such as smt_active by offlining the CPU's, In those cases
build_perf_domains returns true, in that case re-enable the sysctl.
