Ricardo Neri eefefa716c sched/fair: Only do asym_packing load balancing from fully idle SMT cores
When balancing load between cores, all the SMT siblings of the destination
CPU, if any, must be idle. Otherwise, pulling new tasks degrades the
throughput of the busy SMT siblings. The overall throughput of the system
remains the same.

When balancing load within an SMT core this consideration is not relevant.
Follow the priorities that hardware indicates.
