Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched,numa: fix numa capacity computation

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>

Commit c61037e9 fixes the phenomenon of 'fantom' cores due to
N*frac(smt_power) >= 1 by limiting the capacity to the actual
number of cores in the load balancing code.

This patch applies the same correction to the NUMA balancing
code.
