I did some benchmark in my machine: netperf showed ~3% regression
and considerable improvement in hackbench pipe.

Maybe there are some workload benefit from selecting the recent
cpus rather than idle ones, but I don't think the recent_cpu can
out-perform the idle core much, since the two cpus still share
LLC cache and idle core has more capacity than idle cpu. Besides
this case, idle cores usually are better choices I think. So it
might worth a full scan if idle cores are available.

Thanks,
Abel

Tests are done in an Intel Xeon(R) Platinum 8260 CPU@2.40GHz machine
with 2 NUMA nodes each of which has 24 cores with SMT2 enabled, so 96
CPUs in total.

All of the benchmarks are done inside a normal cpu cgroup in a clean
environment with cpu turbo disabled.

Based on tip sched/core c02d5546ea34 (v5.19-rc2).
