[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: schedutil: consolidate capacity margin calculation

[Leo Yan]

Scheduler CFS class has variable 'capacity_margin' to calculate the
capacity margin, and schedutil governor also needs to compensate the
same margin for frequency tipping point. Below are formulas used in
CFS class and schedutil governor separately:

CFS:       U` = U * capacity_margin / 1024 = U * 1.25
Schedutil: U` = U + U >> 2 = U + U * 0.25  = U * 1.25

This patch consolidates the capacity margin calculation so let
schedutil to use same formula with CFS class. As result this can avoid
the mismatch issue between schedutil and CFS class after change
'capacity_margin' to other values.
