    sched: Make sched entity usage tracking scale-invariant · 0c1dc6b2

    Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking.
    
    Each segment of the running_avg_sum geometric series is now scaled by the
    current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be
    invariant with frequency scaling.
    
    As a result, utilization_load_avg which is the sum of utilization_avg_contrib,
    becomes invariant too. So the usage level that is returned by get_cpu_usage(),
    stays relative to the max frequency as the cpu_capacity which is is compared against.
    
    Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32-bit type, which implies
    that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than
    2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742,
    arch_scale_freq_capacity() must return a value less than
    (48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024).
    So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.
