sched/fair: Remove SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST_FASTUP, true)

sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature
in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has
never been used and no regression has been reported. Let's remove it
and make fast increase a permanent behavior.

 由于周期性任务的平均数在睡眠时会衰减，而在运行时其预期利用率会和睡眠前相同，
 因此它们在再次运行后会面临（DVFS）的上涨。
