[PATCH v8 1/3] sched/fair: Co-locate cfs_rq and sched_entity in cfs_tg_state

[Zecheng Li <zli94@ncsu.edu>]

From: Zecheng Li <zecheng@google.com>

Improve data locality and reduce pointer chasing by allocating struct
cfs_rq and struct sched_entity together for non-root task groups. This
is achieved by introducing a new combined struct cfs_tg_state that
holds both objects in a single allocation.

This patch:

- Introduces struct cfs_tg_state that embeds cfs_rq, sched_entity, and
sched_statistics together in a single structure.

- Updates __schedstats_from_se() in stats.h to use cfs_tg_state for
accessing sched_statistics from a group sched_entity.

- Modifies alloc_fair_sched_group() and free_fair_sched_group() to
allocate and free the new struct as a single unit.

- Modifies the per-CPU pointers in task_group->se and task_group->cfs_rq
to point to the members in the new combined structure.
