sched/fair: Avoid creating misfits during cache-aware balancing

Cache-aware load balancing biases tasks toward their preferred LLC. On
asymmetric CPU capacity systems (e.g. big.LITTLE) the destination LLC may
contain CPUs that are too small to run the task. Pulling the task there
turns it into a misfit, trading a cache-locality gain for a capacity loss
that's more detrimental to performance.

Guard both cache-aware migration entry points against this:

 - can_migrate_llc_task(): forbid the LLC migration when the task fits its
   source CPU but would not fit the destination CPU.
 - alb_break_llc(): veto the active balance under the same condition so the
   runnable task is not pushed onto a CPU that cannot accommodate it.

Both checks are gated with checks for hybrid processors, so symmetric
systems are unaffected. Tasks that already do not fit their source CPU
are left to the existing LLC policy, since the move cannot make their
fitness worse (this also preserves misfit up-migration to bigger CPUs).

Additionally, if there are misfit tasks found in the load balancing
classification phase, prioritize misfit task migrations
over LLC load aggregation on asymmetric systems. A better fitting
CPU will boost performance more than better cache locality.
