x86/sched: Decrease further the priorities of SMT siblings
When scheduling, it is better to prefer a separate physical core rather than the SMT sibling of a high priority core. The existing formula to compute priorities takes such fact in consideration. There may exist, however, combinations of priorities (i.e., maximum frequencies) in which the priority of high-numbered SMT siblings of high-priority cores collides with the priority of low-numbered SMT siblings of low-priority cores. Consider for instance an SMT2 system with CPUs [0, 1] with priority 60 and [2, 3] with priority 30(CPUs in brackets are SMT siblings. In such a case, the resulting priorities would be [120, 60], [60, 30]. Thus, to ensure that CPU2 has higher priority than CPU1, divide the raw priority by the squared SMT iterator. The resulting priorities are [120, 30]. [60, 15].
