Shrikanth Hegde 518b32bd5b cpumask: Introduce cpu_preferred_mask
Provide the preferred CPU infrastructure. Define get/set macros
which could be used to get/set CPU state as preferred.

CONFIG_PREFERRED_CPU will be selected by the driver which handles
steal time values. It is going to set/clear preferred CPU state.
This driver will be called steal_governor and it is introduced in
subsequent patches. It periodically computes the steal ratio and
decides on preferred CPU state.

A CPU is set to preferred when it becomes active. Later it may be
marked as non-preferred depending on steal ratio by the steal_governor.

Always maintain design construct of preferred is subset of active.
i.e. preferred ⊆ active ⊆ online ⊆ present ⊆ possible

With CONFIG_PREFERRED_CPU=n, ensure set_cpu_preferred is a nop and get
method returns the active state in that case.
