sched: Avoid waking idle cpu for short-burst tasks

Introduce sched_short_burst tunable to classify "short-burst" tasks.
These tasks are eligible for packing to avoid overhead associated with
waking up an idle CPU. select_best_cpu() ignores power-cost and selects
the CPU with least wakeup latency which is not loaded with IRQs and
can accommodate this task without exceeding spill limits. The ties are
broken with load followed by previous CPU.

This policy does not affect cluster selection but only CPU selection
in the selected cluster. The tasks eligible for "wakeup-up-idle" and
"boost" are not considered for packing. This policy is applied for
both "fair" and "rt" scheduling class tasks.
