The prefer_sibling setting acts on the busiest group to move excess tasks to the local group. This should be done as per request of the child of the busiest group's sched domain, not the local group's. Using the flags of the child domain of the local group works fortuitously if both groups have child domains. There are cases, however, in which the busiest group's sched domain has child but the local group's does not. Consider, for instance a non-SMT core (or an SMT core with only one online sibling) doing load balance with an SMT core at the MC level. SD_PREFER_SIBLING of the busiest group's child domain will not be honored. We are left with a fully busy SMT core and an idle non-SMT core.
