sched: Introduce task_cpu_possible_mask() to limit fallback rq selection
Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.
On such a system, we must take care not to migrate a task to an
unsupported CPU when forcefully moving tasks in select_fallback_rq()
in response to a CPU hot-unplug operation.
Introduce a task_cpu_possible_mask() hook which, given a task argument,
allows an architecture to return a cpumask of CPUs that are capable of
executing that task. The default implementation returns the
cpu_possible_mask, since sane machines do not suffer from per-cpu ISA
limitations that affect scheduling. The new mask is used when selecting
the fallback runqueue as a last resort before forcing a migration to the
first active CPU.
