I think I had asked this before, but why only capacity_orig? The
capacity of a group is also being updated the same way. This patch fixes
the capacity of a group to reflect the capacity of the heterogeneous
CPUs in it, this capacity being both the full capacity of the group:
capacity_orig and the capacity available for the fair tasks. So I feel
in the subject as well as the changelog it would suffice to say 'capacity'.

Aren't you missing this check above? I understand that it is not
crucial, but that would also mean removing ARCH_CAPACITY sched_feat
altogether, wouldn't it?
