Cache aware scheduling needs to know the LLC size that a process
can use, so as to avoid memory-intensive tasks from being
over-aggregated on a single LLC.

Introduce a preparation patch to add get_effective_llc_bytes() to
get the LLC size that a CPU can use. The function can be further
enhanced by subtracting the LLC cache ways reserved by resctrl
(CAT in Intel RDT, etc).
