sched/fair: Let low-priority cores help high-priority busy SMT cores
Using asym_packing priorities within an SMT core is straightforward. Just follow the priorities that hardware indicates. When balancing load from an SMT core, also consider the idle state of its siblings. Priorities do not reflect that an SMT core divides its throughput among all its busy siblings. They only makes sense when exactly one sibling is busy. Indicate that active balance is needed if the destination CPU has lower priority than the source CPU but the latter has busy SMT siblings. Make find_busiest_queue() not skip higher-priority SMT cores with more than busy sibling.
