[PATCH 1/3] sched: Create sched_select_cpu() to give preferred CPU for power saving

In order to save power, it would be useful to schedule work onto non-IDLE cpus instead of waking up an IDLE one. To achieve this, we need scheduler to guide kernel frameworks (like: timers & workqueues) on which is the most preferred CPU that must be used for these tasks. This routine returns
