Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of scheduler fixes:

   - Address a load balancer regression by making the load balancer use
     the same logic as the wakeup path to spread tasks in the LLC domain

   - Prefer the CPU on which a task run last over the local CPU in the
     fast wakeup path for asymmetric CPU capacity systems to align with
     the symmetric case. This ensures more locality and prevents massive
     migration overhead on those asymetric systems

   - Fix a memory corruption bug in the scheduler debug code caused by
     handing a modified buffer pointer to kfree()"

  sched/debug: Fix memory corruption caused by multiple small reads of flags
  sched/fair: Prefer prev cpu in asymmetric wakeup path
  sched/fair: Ensure tasks spreading in LLC during LB
