Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 2/3] sched: threshold helper functions

Define group capacity threshold as a multiple of
impalance percentage at higher levels of sched_mc settings.

sched_mc=3 Group capacity increased by 25% (5 tasks on quad core)
sched_mc=4 Group capacity increased by 50% (6 tasks on quad core)
sched_mc=5 Group capacity increased by 100% (8 tasks on quad core)

*** RFC patch for discussion ***
