Vincent Guittot 7bc263840b sched/topology: Consolidate and clean up access to a CPU's max compute capacity
Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.

The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:

 - arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a 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 rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.

No functional changes.

Some performance tests on 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%)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
