sched/fair: Fix the group_capacity computation Do away with 'phantom' cores due to N*frac(smt_power) >= 1 by limiting the capacity to the actual number of cores. The assumption of 1 < smt_power < 2 is an actual requirement because of what SMT is so this should work regardless of the SMT implementation. It can still be defeated by creative use of cpu hotplug, but if you're one of those freaks, you get to live with it.
