Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
instead.
The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity:
- arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity.
- cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity().
- capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig.
There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns:
- either a per_cpu variable.
- or a const value for systems which have only one capacity.
Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere.
No functional changes.
Some performance tests on Arm64:
- small SMP device (hikey): no noticeable changes
- HMP device (RB5): hackbench shows minor improvement (1-2%)
- large smp (thx2): hackbench and tbench shows minor improvement (1%)

This commit 7d2078310cbf ("dt-bindings: arm: move cpu-capacity to a
shared loation") updates some references about capacity-dmips-mhz
property in this document.
The list of architectures using capacity-dmips-mhz omits RISC-V, so
supplements it here.

RISC-V uses the same generic topology code as arm64 & while there
currently exists no binding for cpu-capacity on RISC-V, the code paths
can be hit if the property is present.
Move the documentation of cpu-capacity to a shared location, ahead of
defining a binding for capacity-dmips-mhz on RISC-V. Update some
references to this document in the process.
