Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] sched/fair: Add more sched_asym_cpucapacity static branch checks
Date:   Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:05:23 +0000

Rik noted a while back that a handful of

  sd->flags & SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY

& family in the CFS load-balancer code aren't guarded by the
sched_asym_cpucapacity static branch.

Turning those checks into NOPs for those who don't need it is fairly
straightforward, and hiding it in a helper doesn't change code size in all
but one spot. It also gives us a place to document the differences between
checking the static key and checking the SD flag.
