[patch v6 05/21] sched: add sysfs interface for sched_balance_policy selection

[Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com>]

This patch add the power aware scheduler knob into sysfs:

$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/available_sched_balance_policy
performance powersaving
$cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy
powersaving

This means the using sched balance policy is 'powersaving'.

User can change the policy by commend 'echo':
 echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_balance_policy/current_sched_balance_policy

+		current_sched_balance_policy: shows current scheduler policy.

+		Policy decides the CFS scheduler how to balance tasks onto

+
+		powersaving: try to pack tasks onto same core or same CPU
+		until every LCPUs are busy in the core or CPU socket.
