There is an issue w/ excl. cpusets and cpuset.sched_load_balance=0. The
latter is needed to demonstrate the problem since DL task affinity can't
be altered.

A CPU in such a cpuset has its rq attached to def_root_domain which does
not have its 'sum_cpu_capacity' properly set.

dl_bw_capacity() CPU4 dflt_rd->sum_cpu_capacity=0 <-- !!! dflt_rd->span=2,4-5 cpu_active_mask=0-5
...

OTHA, rd->span is properly set due to 'cpumask_clear_cpu(rq->cpu,
old_rd->span) and cpumask_set_cpu(rq->cpu, rd->span)' in rq_attach_root().

It's not possible to treat 'rd->sum_cpu_capacity' like 'rd->span' since
the former changes between sched domain teardown/bringup w/ asymmetric
CPU capacity.

What could be done is to return 'dl_bw_cpus(i) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT'
w/ symmetric CPU capacity (of 1024) and to loop over rd->span otherwise.
Latter includes symmetric cpusets w/ only little CPUs.
