Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] sched: Add per-cpu min capacity to sched_group_capacity

struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity
sum of all cpus in the sched_group. Unless it is divided by the
group_weight to get the average capacity per cpu it hides differences in
cpu capacity for mixed capacity systems (e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or
ARM big.LITTLE). But even the average may not be sufficient if the group
covers cpus of different capacities. Instead, by extending struct
sched_group_capacity to indicate min per-cpu capacity in the group a
suitable group for a given task utilization can more easily be found
such that cpus with reduced capacity can be avoided for tasks with high
utilization (not implemented by this patch).
