sched/nohz: Fix affine unpinned timers mess
The following commit:
9642d18eee2c ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")'
intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the
intention to:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby,
otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
