sched: re-tune NUMA topologies
improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:
tip/sched tip/sched+wake-affine

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.19
2 1.11
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22
2 6.69
in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle
-------------------------------------------------
1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%
4: 3105 3091 -0.43%
8: 6021 6046 +0.42%
16: 10745 10736 -0.08%
32: 10150 10206 +0.55%
64: 9240 9533 +3.08%
128: 8252 8355 +1.24%
256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.
