sched: Fix vmark regression on big machines

SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set at the CPU domain level if power saving isn't
enabled, leading to many cache misses on large machines as we traverse
looking for an idle shared cache to wake to.  Change the enabler of
select_idle_sibling() to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES, and enable same at the
sibling domain level.
