sched/topology: Introduce sched_group::flags
There exist situations in which the load balance needs to know the properties of the CPUs in a scheduling group. When using asymmetric packing, for instance, the load balancer needs to know not only the state of dst_cpu but also of its SMT siblings, if any. Use the flags of the child scheduling domains to initialize scheduling group flags. This will reflect the properties of the CPUs in the group. A subsequent changeset will make use of these new flags. No functional changes are introduced.
