Isn't this already reflected in avg_load, by having avg_load increase
due to the capacity decreasing when a cpu is busy with non-CFS loads?

Also, this part of update_sd_pick_busiest will not be reached in the
!SD_ASYM_PACKING case once my patch is applied, so this is a small
conflict between our series :)
