I'm not sure something like this is necessary here.

With DL capacity awareness we reduce the later_mask returned by
cpudl_find() in find_later_rq() to those idle CPUs which can handle p
or in case there is none to (the/a) 'non-fitting CPU w/ max capacity'.

We just have to favor task_cpu(p) in [patch 6/6] in case it is part
of the initial later_mask and among these 'non-fitting CPUs w/ max
capacity'.

This will make sure that it gets chosen so find_later_rq() returns it
before the 'for_each_domain()' loop.

And I guess we still want to migrate if there is a non-fitting CPU w/ a
higher CPU capacity than task_cpu() (tri-gear).

In case task_cpu() is not part of later_cpu, the 'max CPU capacity CPU' is
returned as 'best_cpu'.
