[PATCH 5.8 080/633] sched/fair: Fix wrong negative conversion in find_energy_efficient_cpu()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit da0777d35f47892f359c3f73ea155870bb595700 ]

In find_energy_efficient_cpu() 'cpu_cap' could be less that 'util'.
It might be because of RT, DL (so higher sched class than CFS), irq or
thermal pressure signal, which reduce the capacity value.
In such situation the result of 'cpu_cap - util' might be negative but
stored in the unsigned long. Then it might be compared with other unsigned
long when uclamp_rq_util_with() reduced the 'util' such that is passes the
fits_capacity() check.

Prevent this situation and make the arithmetic more safe.
