v3 fixes the Geekbench multicore regression I saw on Pixel4 (Android 10,
Android Common Kernel v4.14 based, Snapdragon 855) running v1.

I changed the Pixel4 kernel a bit (PELT instead WALT, mainline
select_idle_sibling() instead the csctate aware one), mainline
task_fits_capacity()) for base, v1 & v3.

Since it's not mainline kernel the results have to be taken with a pinch
of salt but they probably show that the new condition:

if (rq->cpu_capacity_orig == READ_ONCE(rq->rd->max_cpu_capacity) && ...
    return cpu;

has an effect when dealing with tasks with util_est values > 0.8 * 1024.
