sched/cache: Skip cache-aware scheduling for single-threaded processes
For a single thread, the current wakeup path tends to place it
on the same LLC where it was previously running with cache-hot
data. There is no need to enable cache-aware scheduling for
single-threaded processes for the following reasons:
1. Cache-aware scheduling primarily benefits multi-threaded
processes where threads share data. Single-threaded processes
typically have no inter-thread data sharing and thus gain little.
2. Enabling it incurs the additional overhead of tracking the
thread's residency in the LLCs.
3. Bypassing single-threaded processes avoids excessive
concentration of such tasks on a single LLC.
Nevertheless, this check can be omitted if users explicitly
provide hints for such single-threaded workloads where different
processes have shared memory, e.g., via prctl() or other interfaces
to be added in the future.
