[PATCH v2 1/6] sched: consolidate and cleanup access to CPU's max compute capacity

[Vincent Guittot]

Remove struct rq cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.

Scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to the CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
  arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.

There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.

Remove cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.

No functional changes.

some tests of Arm64
small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
HMP device (RB5): hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
large smp (thx2): hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)
