I noticed some anomalies in guarantees that were provided to different classes.
Basically I had created two classes CA (10% guarantee) and CB (90% guarantee)
and run few tasks on a 4-cpu system as below:
Case 1:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
============================
TA1 TA2 TA3 TA4
TB1 TB2 TB3 TB4
Case 2:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
============================
TA1 TA2 TA3 TA4
TB4
TA* tasks belong to CA and TB* belong to CB. All are CPU hungry tasks. Also
each task is bound to the respective CPU indicated.
In both above cases, I found that CPU time was *equally* shared between the two
classes (whereas I expected them to be shared in 1:9 ratio).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Debugging it a bit indicated that the division of cr->guarantee by
cr->rcd->numcpus in cpu_rc_collect_hunger doesn't seem to be required (since
LHS is not on global scale and also the class's tasks may not be running
on other CPUs as in case 2). Removing the division rectified CPU sharing
anomaly I had found.
Let me know what you think of this fix!
