The normal x86_topology on NHM+ machines degenerates because the MC and CPU domains are of the same size, therefore MC inherits SD_PREFER_SIBLING from CPU (which then gets taken out). The result is that we'll spread tasks across the first NUMA level in order to maximize cache utilization. However, for the x86_numa_in_package_topology we loose the CPU domain, and we'll not have SD_PREFER_SIBLING set anywhere, giving a distinct difference in behaviour. Commit: 8e7fbcbc ("sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs") made a fail by not preserving the SD_PREFER_SIBLING for the !power_saving case on both CPU and MC. Then commit: 6956dc56 ("sched/numa: Add SD_PERFER_SIBLING to CPU domain") adds it back to the CPU but not MC. Restore that now, such that we get consistent spreading behaviour wrt L3 and NUMA.
