sched/cpufreq: Clarify sugov_get_util()



Add a few comments to (hopefully) clarifying some of the magic in
sugov_get_util().

 *   cpu_bw_dl()
 *
 * Where the cfs,rt and dl util numbers are tracked with the same metric and

 * The cfs,rt,dl utilization are the running times measured with rq->clock_task
 * which excludes things like IRQ and steal-time. These latter are then accrued
 * in the irq utilization.
 *
 * The DL bandwidth number otoh is not a measured metric but a value computed
 * based on the task model parameters and gives the minimal utilization
 * required to meet deadlines.
