sched: optimize RT affinity

The current code base assumes a relatively flat CPU/core topology and will
route RT tasks to any CPU fairly equally.  In the real world, there are
various toplogies and affinities that govern where a task is best suited to
run with the smallest amount of overhead.  NUMA and multi-core CPUs are
prime examples of topologies that can impact cache performance.

Fortunately, linux is already structured to represent these topologies via
the sched_domains interface.  So we change our RT router to consult a
combination of topology and affinity policy to best place tasks during
migration.
