utilization is used to detect a misfit task but the load is then used to
select the task on the CPU which can lead to select a small task with
high weight instead of the task that triggered the misfit migration.

Keep tracking load instead of utilization but check that
task doesn't fit CPU's capacity when selecting the task to detach as
suggested by Valentin
