PowerPC enables the MC scheduling domain by default on systems with
coregroup support without having a SCHED_MC config in Kconfig.
The scheduler uses CONFIG_SCHED_MC to introduce the MC domain in the
default topology (core) and to optimize the default CPU selection
routine (sched-ext).
Introduce CONFIG_SCHED_MC for powerpc and note that it should be
preferably enabled given the current default behavior. This also ensures
PowerPC is tested during future developments that come to depend on
CONFIG_SCHED_MC.

You shouldn't duplicate CONFIG_SCHED_MC in every architecture, instead
you should define a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCHED_MC in arch/Kconfig that gets
selected by architectures then have CONFIG_SCHED_MC defined in
init/Kconfig or kernel/Kconfig or so.

Why do you need this ifdef ? Leaving it outside #ifdef allows you to do
constructs like:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SCHED_MC))
cpu_coregroup_mask(cpu);
Otherwise you'll need to ensure all calls to cpu_coregroup_mask() are
also inside #ifdefs, which is not the recommended way nowadays.
