This new field cpu_capacity_orig reflects the original capacity of a CPU before being altered by rt tasks and/or IRQ
The cpu_capacity_orig will be used: - to detect when the capacity of a CPU has been noticeably reduced so we can trig load balance to look for a CPU with better capacity. As an example, we can detect when a CPU handles a significant amount of irq (with CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING) but this CPU is seen as an idle CPU by scheduler whereas CPUs, which are really idle, are available. - evaluate the available capacity for CFS tasks
