sched: Wholesale removal of sd_idle logic 

sd_idle logic was introduced way back in 2005 (commit 5969fe06),
as an HT optimization.

As per the discussion in the thread here:

  lkml - sched: Resolve sd_idle and first_idle_cpu Catch-22 - v1
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/532501/

The capacity based logic in the load balancer right now handles this
in a much cleaner way, handling more than 2 SMT siblings etc, and sd_idle
does not seem to bring any additional benefits. sd_idle logic also has
some bugs that has performance impact. Here is the patch that removes
the sd_idle logic altogether.

Also, there was a dependency of sched_mc_power_savings == 2, with sd_idle
logic.
