Subject: [PATCH v2 12/19] sched/numa: Remove numa_has_capacity

task_numa_find_cpu helps to find the cpu to swap/move the task.
Its guarded by numa_has_capacity(). However node not having capacity
shouldn't deter a task swapping if it helps numa placement.

Further load_too_imbalanced, which evaluates possibilities of move/swap,
provides similar checks as numa_has_capacity.

Hence remove numa_has_capacity() to enhance possibilities of task
swapping even if load is imbalanced.
