sched/fair: Consider RT/IRQ pressure in capacity_spare_wake()

capacity_spare_wake() in the slow path influences choice of idlest groups,
as we search for groups with maximum spare capacity. In scenarios where
RT pressure is high, a sub optimal group can be chosen and hurt
performance of the task being woken up.

Fix this by using capacity_of() instead of capacity_orig_of() in capacity_spare_wake().

Tests results from improvements with this change are below. More tests
were also done by myself and Matt Fleming to ensure no degradation in
different benchmarks.

1) Rohit ran barrier.c test (details below) with following improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was Rohit's original use case for a patch he posted at [1] however
from his recent tests he showed my patch can replace his slow path
changes [1] and there's no need to selectively scan/skip CPUs in
find_idlest_group_cpu in the slow path to get the improvement he sees.

barrier.c (open_mp code) as a micro-benchmark. It does a number of
iterations and barrier sync at the end of each for loop.

Here barrier,c is running in along with ping on CPU 0 and 1 as:
'ping -l 10000 -q -s 10 -f hostX'

barrier.c can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2506955.html

Following are the results for the iterations per second with this
micro-benchmark (higher is better), on a 44 core, 2 socket 88 Threads
Intel x86 machine:

2) ping+hackbench test on bare-metal sever (by Rohit)
-----------------------------------------------------
Here hackbench is running in threaded mode along
with, running ping on CPU 0 and 1 as:
'ping -l 10000 -q -s 10 -f hostX'

This test is running on 2 socket, 20 core and 40 threads Intel x86
machine:
Number of loops is 10000 and runtime is in seconds (Lower is better).

Matt Fleming also ran several different hackbench tests and cyclic test
to santiy-check that the patch doesn't harm other usecases.
