[RFC v2 4/9] sched/fair: Don't use CPU marked as avoid for wakeup and load balance

[Shrikanth Hegde]

Load balancer shouldn't spread CFS tasks into a CPU marked as Avoid. 
Remove those CPUs from load balancing decisions. 

At wakeup, don't select a CPU marked as avoid.

while tesing didn't see cpu being marked as avoid while new_cpu is. 
May need some more probing to see if even cpu can be. if so it could
lead to crash.
