[PATCH] sched/core: add unlikely in group_has_capacity()

From: Qi Zheng
Date: Thu Jul 30 2020 - 09:54:38 EST


1. The group_has_capacity() function is only called in
group_classify().
2. Before calling the group_has_capacity() function,
group_is_overloaded() will first judge the following
formula, if it holds, the group_classify() will directly
return the group_overloaded.

(sgs->group_capacity * imbalance_pct) <
(sgs->group_runnable * 100)

Therefore, when the group_has_capacity() is called, the
probability that the above formalu holds is very small. Hint
compilers about that.
