sched_ext: Introduce NUMA awareness to the default idle selection policy

Browse Source 
Similarly to commit dfa4ed29b1 ("sched_ext: Introduce LLC awareness to
the default idle selection policy"), extend the built-in idle CPU
selection policy to also prioritize CPUs within the same NUMA node.

With this change applied, the built-in CPU idle selection policy follows
this logic:
 - always prioritize CPUs from fully idle SMT cores,
 - select the same CPU if possible,
 - select a CPU within the same LLC domain,
 - select a CPU within the same NUMA node.

Both NUMA and LLC awareness features are enabled only when the system
has multiple NUMA nodes or multiple LLC domains.

In the future, we may want to improve the NUMA node selection to account
the node distance from prev_cpu. Currently, the logic only tries to keep
tasks running on the same NUMA node. If all CPUs within a node are busy,
the next NUMA node is chosen randomly.

* Built-in cpu idle selection policy.
* Built-in CPU idle selection policy:

* 1. Prioritize full-idle cores:
* - always prioritize CPUs from fully idle cores (both logical CPUs are
* idle) to avoid interference caused by SMT.
*
* 2. Reuse the same CPU:
* - prefer the last used CPU to take advantage of cached data (L1, L2) and
* branch prediction optimizations.
*
* 3. Pick a CPU within the same LLC (Last-Level Cache):
* - if the above conditions aren't met, pick a CPU that shares the same LLC
* to maintain cache locality.
*
* 4. Pick a CPU within the same NUMA node, if enabled:
* - choose a CPU from the same NUMA node to reduce memory access latency.
*
* Step 3 and 4 are performed only if the system has, respectively, multiple
* LLC domains / multiple NUMA nodes (see scx_selcpu_topo_llc and
* scx_selcpu_topo_numa).
*
* NOTE: tasks that can only run on 1 CPU are excluded by this logic, because
* we never call ops.select_cpu() for them, see select_task_rq().
