sched_prefer_idle flag controls whether tasks can be woken to any
available idle cpu. It may be desirable to set sched_prefer_idle to 0
so that most tasks wake up to non-idle cpus under mostly_idle
threshold and have specialized tasks override this behavior through
other means. PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag per task provides exactly that. It
lets tasks with PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag set be woken up to any available
idle cpu independent of sched_prefer_idle flag setting. Currently
only kernel-space API exists to set PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a task.
This patch adds a user-space API (in /proc filesystem) to set
PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a given task. /proc/[pid]/sched_wake_up_idle
file can be written to set or clear PF_WAKE_UP_IDLE flag for a given
task.
