+ * get_cpu_usage returns the amount of capacity of a CPU that is used by CFS
+ * tasks. The unit of the return value must be the one of capacity so we can
+ * compare the usage with the capacity of the CPU that is available for CFS
+ * task (ie cpu_capacity).
+ * cfs.utilization_load_avg is the sum of running time of runnable tasks on a
+ * CPU. It represents the amount of utilization of a CPU in the range
+ * [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE].  The usage of a CPU can't be higher than the full
+ * capacity of the CPU because it's about the running time on this CPU.
+ * Nevertheless, cfs.utilization_load_avg can be higher than SCHED_LOAD_SCALE
+ * because of unfortunate rounding in avg_period and running_load_avg or just
+ * after migrating tasks until the average stabilizes with the new running
+ * time. So we need to check that the usage stays into the range
+ * [0..cpu_capacity_orig] and cap if necessary.
+ * Without capping the usage, a group could be seen as overloaded (CPU0 usage
+ * at 121% + CPU1 usage at 80%) whereas CPU1 has 20% of available capacity
