    sched/fair: Allow disabling sched_balance_newidle with sched_relax_domain_level
    
    [ Upstream commit a1fd0b9d751f840df23ef0e75b691fc00cfd4743 ]
    
    Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
    to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.
    
    This matches the behavior described in the documentation:
    
      -1   no request. use system default or follow request of others.
       0   no search.
       1   search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).
    
    "2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
    level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.
