I was looking at the same point.
Also this doesn't take into account if the cpu is offline

Do we also need of the line below in set_rq_online
+               rq->rd->rd_capacity += arch_scale_cpu_capacity(NULL,
cpu_of(rq));

building the sched_domain seems a better place to set rq->rd->rd_capacity
