ANDROID: sched: cpufreq: use PELT rt_rq as estimate of required RT CPU capacity
A policy of going to fmax on any RT activity will be detrimental for power on many platforms. Often RT accounts for only a small amount of CPU activity so sending the CPU frequency to fmax is overkill. Worse still, some platforms may not be able to even complete the CPU frequency change before the RT activity has already completed. Cpufreq governors have not treated RT activity this way in the past so it is not part of the expected semantics of the RT scheduling class. The DL class offers guarantees about task completion and could be used for this purpose. Modify the schedutil algorithm to instead use the new PELT rt_rq signal as an estimate of RT utilization of the CPU. Based on previous work by Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org>.
