sched/fair: prevent meaningless active migration

Browse source 
At present need_active_balance() determines whether an active
upmigration is needed by using capacity_of(). A CPU's capacity
may be reduced by RT pressure, and therefore distinguishing
capability differences with capacity_of() may lead to suboptimal
active migrations to less capable CPUs. Use capacity_orig_of
to distinguish differently capable CPUs in addition to
capacity_of(), thus avoiding placing tasks on less capable CPUs
due to instantaneous RT pressure.
