sched/core: Move sched_entity::avg into separate cache line
The sched_entity::avg collides with read-mostly sched_entity data.
The perf c2c tool showed many read HITM accesses across
many CPUs for sched_entity's cfs_rq and my_q, while having
at the same time tons of stores for avg.
After placing sched_entity::avg into separate cache line,
the perf bench sched pipe showed around 20 seconds speedup.
NOTE I cut out all perf events except for cycles and
instructions from following output.
Before:
$ perf stat -r 5 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 10000000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 270.348 [sec]

After:
