Aubrey's attached patch should replace his previous patch
sched/fair: don't migrate task if cookie not match

I've also added a fix below for Aubrey's patch
sched/fair: find cookie matched idlest CPU.

Aubrey, can you merge this fix into that patch when you update
your patches?

Subject: [PATCH] sched: Check core scheduler in use when comparing cookie

When scanning scheduler groups to find the idlest cpu for a task waking
up, cookie matching should not be considered if a target cpu doesn't
use core scheduling. Code introduced by patch

sched/fair: find cookie matched idlest CPU

matches cookie regardless of cpu's core scheduler state. Fix this.
