Your proposal below looks similar to what is done in arch_topology.c.
arch_topology.c triggers a rebuild of sched_domain and removes its
cpufreq notifier cb once it has visited all CPUs, could it also
trigger an update of CPU's policy with cpufreq_update_policy() ?

At this point you will be sure that the normalization has happened and
the max capacity will not change.

I don't know if it's a global problem or only for systems using arch_topology
