ok

I'm going to resend with the following order

sched: add utilization_avg_contrib
sched: Track group sched_entity usage contributions
sched: remove frequency scaling from cpu_capacity
sched: Make sched entity usage tracking scale-invariant
sched: make scale_rt invariant with frequency
sched: add per rq cpu_capacity_orig
sched: get CPU's usage statistic
sched: replace capacity_factor by usage
sched: add SD_PREFER_SIBLING for SMT level
sched: move cfs task on a CPU with higher capacity
