sched: use a 2-d bitmap for searching lowest-pri CPU
The current code use a linear algorithm which causes scaling issues on larger SMP machines. This patch replaces that algorithm with a 2-dimensional bitmap to reduce latencies in the wake-up path.

+ * This code tracks the priority of each CPU so that global migration
+ * decisions are easy to calculate. Each CPU can be in a state as follows:
+ *
+ * (INVALID), IDLE, NORMAL, RT1, ... RT99
+ *
+ * going from the lowest priority to the highest. CPUs in the INVALID state
+ * are not eligible for routing. The system maintains this state with
+ * a 2 dimensional bitmap (the first for priority class, the second for cpus
+ * in that class). Therefore a typical application without affinity
+ * restrictions can find a suitable CPU with O(1) complexity (e.g. two bit
+ * searches). For tasks with affinity restrictions, the algorithm has a
+ * worst case complexity of O(min(102, nr_domcpus)), though the scenario that
+ * yields the worst case search is fairly contrived.
