Introducing new, complementary to SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY, sched_domain
topology flag, to distinguish between shed_domains where any CPU
capacity asymmetry is detected (SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) and ones where
a full set of CPU capacities is visible to all domain members
(SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL).
With the distinction between full and partial CPU capacity asymmetry,
brought in by the newly introduced flag, the scope of the original
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag gets shifted, still maintaining the existing
behaviour when one is detected on a given sched domain, allowing
misfit migrations within sched domains that do not observe full range
of CPU capacities but still do have members with different capacity
values. It loses though it's meaning when it comes to the lowest CPU
asymmetry sched_domain level per-cpu pointer, which is to be now
denoted by SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL flag.

There would be no point in preserving a sched_domain with a single group
just because it has this flag set. Add it to SD_DEGENERATE_GROUPS_MASK.

A sched_domain can only have overlapping sched_groups if it has more than
one group.

Being a load-balancing flag, it requires 2+ groups to have any effect.

Even if no mainline topology uses this flag, it is a load balancing flag
just like SD_BALANCE_FORK and requires 2+ groups to have any effect.

SD_PREFER_SIBLING is currently considered in sd_parent_degenerate() but not
in sd_degenerate(). It too hinges on load balancing, and thus won't have
any effect when set on a domain with a single group. Add it to
SD_DEGENERATE_GROUPS_MASK.

We currently set this flag *only* on domains whose topology level exactly
match the level where we detect asymmetry (as returned by
asym_cpu_capacity_level()). This is rather problematic.
Say there are two clusters in the system, one with a lone big CPU and the
other with a mix of big and LITTLE CPUs (as is allowed by DynamIQ):
DIE [ ]
MC [ ][ ]
0 1 2 3 4
L L B B B
asym_cpu_capacity_level() will figure out that the MC level is the one
where all CPUs can see a CPU of max capacity, and we will thus set
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY at MC level for all CPUs.
That lone big CPU will degenerate its MC domain, since it would be alone in
there, and will end up with just a DIE domain. Since the flag was only set
at MC, this CPU ends up not seeing any SD with the flag set, which is
broken.
Rather than clearing dflags at every topology level, clear it before
entering the topology level loop. This will properly propagate upwards
flags that are set starting from a certain level.

In preparation of cleaning up the sd_degenerate*() functions, mark flags
used in sd_degenerate() with the new SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS flag. With this,
build a compile-time mask of those SD flags.
Note that sd_parent_degenerate() uses an extra flag in its mask,
SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which remains singled out for now.

There are some expectations regarding how sched domain flags should be laid
out, but none of them are checked or asserted in
sched_domain_debug_one(). After staring at said flags for a while, I've
come to realize there's two repeating patterns:
- Shared with children: those flags are set from the base CPU domain
upwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its children. It
hints at "some property holds true / some behaviour is enabled until this
level".
- Shared with parents: those flags are set from the topmost domain
downwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its parents. It
hints at "some property isn't visible / some behaviour is disabled until
this level".
There are two outliers that (currently) do not map to either of these:
o SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which is cleared below levels with
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY. The change was introduced by commit:
9c63e84db29b ("sched/core: Disable SD_PREFER_SIBLING on asymmetric CPU capacity domains")
as it could break misfit migration on some systems. In light of this, we
might want to change it back to make it fit one of the two categories and
fix the issue another way.
o SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY, which gets set on a single level and isn't
propagated up nor down. From a topology description point of view, it
really wants to be SDF_SHARED_PARENT; this will be rectified in a later
patch.
Tweak the sched_domain flag declaration to assign each flag an expected
layout, and include the rationale for each flag "meta type" assignment as a
comment. Consolidate the flag metadata into an array; the index of a flag's
metadata can easily be found with log2(flag), IOW __ffs(flag).

To associate the SD flags with some metadata, we need some more structure
in the way they are declared.
Rather than shove that in a free-standing macro list, move the declaration
in a separate file that can be re-imported with different SD_FLAG
definitions. This is inspired by what is done with the syscall
table (see uapi/asm/unistd.h and sys_call_table).
The value assigned to a given SD flag now depends on the order it appears
in sd_flags.h. No change in functionality.
