sched/core: Move sched_entity::avg into separate cache line

Browse Source 
The sched_entity::avg collides with read-mostly sched_entity data.

The perf c2c tool showed many read HITM accesses across
many CPUs for sched_entity's cfs_rq and my_q, while having
at the same time tons of stores for avg.

After placing sched_entity::avg into separate cache line,
the perf bench sched pipe showed around 20 seconds speedup.

NOTE I cut out all perf events except for cycles and
instructions from following output.

Before:
  $ perf stat -r 5 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 270.348 [sec]

        27.034805 usecs/op
            36989 ops/sec
   ...

     245,537,074,035      cycles                    #    1.433 GHz
     187,264,548,519      instructions              #    0.77  insns per cycle

       272.653840535 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  1.31% )

After:
  $ perf stat -r 5 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000
  # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
  # Executed 10000000 pipe operations between two processes

       Total time: 251.076 [sec]

        25.107678 usecs/op
            39828 ops/sec
  ...

     244,573,513,928      cycles                    #    1.572 GHz
     187,409,641,157      instructions              #    0.76  insns per cycle

       251.679315188 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  0.31% )
