[PATCH v4 4/4] sched/fair: Kill wake_cap()

[Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>]

From: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com>

Capacity-awareness in the wake-up path previously involved disabling
wake_affine in certain scenarios. We have just made select_idle_sibling()
capacity-aware, so this isn't needed anymore.

Remove wake_cap() entirely.
