mainly because of the place in the code, so it is not always used
during load balance unlike group_no_capacity

Now that i have said that, i just noticed that it's better to move the
call to the last tested condition

+ if (env->idle == CPU_NEWLY_IDLE && busiest->group_no_capacity &&
+ group_has_capacity(env, local))
