Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: fix case with reduced capacity CPU

The capacity of the CPU available for CFS tasks can be reduced because of
other activities running on the latter. In such case, it's worth trying to
move CFS tasks on a CPU with more available capacity.

The rework of the load balance has filtered the case when the CPU is
classified to be fully busy but its capacity is reduced.

Check if CPU's capacity is reduced while gathering load balance statistic
and classify it group_misfit_task instead of group_fully_busy so we can
try to move the load on another CPU.

v2:
- fixed typo
- removed useless comments for group_misfit_task
- reorder conditions to make the code easier to read
