When NI_RANDOM is enabled, some sched domains may be skipped. If the
sched_balance_newidle() fails to pull any tasks, there maybe substantial
amount of idle time.

This patch introduces a "half-idle" retry mechanism to harness the
remaining idle time, safely re-evaluating the domains that were skipped
stochastically in the first round. The retry logic is restricted by
following constraints:

1. Half Idle Time Threshold: Retries are triggered only when the
remaining idle time exceeds avg_idle / 2. This ensure that there is enough
idle time to aborb the retry costs.

2. Dynamic Re-try Window: Instead of setting the half_idle as avg_idle / 2,
initializing it with the remain_idle. When remain_idle is abundant, using
avg_idle / 2 would shrink the window and skip most of domains.

3. LLC Only: This ensures that the newly triggered load balance remain
lightweight.

4. Skipped Domains Only: The retry only re-evaluates domains that were
skipped by NI_RANDOM during the first pass, this is tracked by 'try_bits'.

Additionally, because this is a 'retry' path, the weight is maintained at
1 to ensure long-term balancing accuracy.

Performance Evaluation:
Tested with schbench against v7.1-rc3 baseline, each case was tested 10
times and the average was used.
