sched/fair: Fix negative energy delta in find_energy_efficient_cpu()

Browse Source 
find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, compute_energy() estimates the energy
impact of placing the task on a CPU, based on CPU and task utilization
signals.

Utilization signals can be concurrently updated while evaluating a
performance domain (pd). In some cases, this leads to having a
'negative delta', i.e. placing the task in the pd is seen as an
energy gain. Thus, any further energy comparison is biased.

In case of a 'negative delta', return prev_cpu since:
1. a 'negative delta' happens in less than 0.5% of feec() calls,
   on a Juno with 6 CPUs (4 little, 2 big)
2. it is unlikely to have two consecutive 'negative delta' for
   a task, so if the first call fails, feec() will correctly
   place the task in the next feec() call
3. EAS current behavior tends to select prev_cpu if the task
   doesn't raise the OPP of its current pd. prev_cpu is EAS's
   generic decision
4. prev_cpu should be preferred to returning an error code.
   In the latter case, select_idle_sibling() would do the placement,
   selecting a big (and not energy efficient) CPU. As 3., the task
   would potentially reside on the big CPU for a long time
