sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() bouncing cow syndrome

If the previous CPU is cache affine and idle, select it.

The current implementation simply traverses the sd_llc domain,
taking the first idle CPU encountered, which walks buddy pairs
hand in hand over the package, inflicting excruciating pain.

1 tbench pair (worst case) in a 10 core + SMT package:
