> capacity_orig is only changed for system with a SMT sched_domain level in order
> to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous system also have to reflect an
> original capacity that is different from the default value.
> 
> Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by
> non SMT platform to set capacity_orig.
> 
> The weak behavior of arch_scale_cpu_capacity is the previous SMT one in order to
> keep backward compatibility in the use of capacity_orig.
> 
> arch_scale_smt_capacity and default_scale_smt_capacity have been removed as
> they were not use elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity.
