Tim Chen 15ad45fb80 sched/cache: Count tasks prefering destination LLC in a sched group
During LLC load balancing, tabulate the number of tasks on each runqueue
that prefer the LLC contains the env->dst_cpu in a sched group.

For example, consider a system with 4 LLC sched groups (LLC0 to LLC3)
balancing towards LLC3. LLC0 has 3 tasks preferring LLC3, LLC1 has
2, and LLC2 has 1. LLC0, having the most tasks preferring LLC3, is
selected as the busiest source to pick tasks from.

Within a source LLC, the total number of tasks preferring a destination
LLC is computed by summing counts across all CPUs in that LLC. For
instance, if LLC0 has CPU0 with 2 tasks and CPU1 with 1 task preferring
LLC3, the total for LLC0 is 3.

These statistics allow the load balancer to choose tasks from source
sched groups that best match their preferred LLCs.
