sched/fair: Optimize test_idle_cores() for !SMT

update_idle_core() is only done for the case of sched_smt_present.
but test_idle_cores() is done for all machines even those without
SMT.

This can contribute to up 8%+ hackbench performance loss on a
machine like kunpeng 920 which has no SMT. This patch removes the
redundant test_idle_cores() for !SMT machines.

Hackbench is ran with -g {2..14}, for each g it is ran 10 times to get
an average.

  $ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g $1

The below is the result of hackbench w/ and w/o this patch:

  g=    2      4     6       8      10     12      14
  w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929
  w/ : 1.8428 3.7436 5.4501 6.9522 8.2882  9.9535 11.3367
			    +4.1%  +8.3%  +7.3%   +6.3%
