    sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive · 4c77b18c
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Kitsunyan reported desktop latency issues on his Celeron 887 because
    of commit:
    
      1b568f0a
    
     ("sched/core: Optimize SCHED_SMT")
    
    ... even though his CPU doesn't do SMT.
    
    The effect of running the SMT code on a !SMT part is basically a more
    aggressive select_idle_cpu(). Removing the avg condition fixed things
    for him.
    
    I also know FB likes this test gone, even though other workloads like
    having it.
    
    For now, take it out by default, until we get a better idea.
