sched/fair: Fix wake_affine() for !NUMA_BALANCING

In commit:

  3fed382b ("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()")

Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing
between LLC domains.

There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address:

 - LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance
 - !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any
   balancing at all
 - re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating
   up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup.
 - default affine wakeups inside a cache

We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each
sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in
wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is
that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality.

But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on
assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do
we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs
for each wakeup.
