sched/fair: Add EAS checks before updating root_domain::overutilized

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.

Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.

With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.

  6.8-rc4:
  7.18%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  6.78%  s                [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

  +patch:
  0.14%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  0.00%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.
