I have been playing with this patch to achieve this 'flat hirarchy" for util_avg'
after I gave up to implement this propagating down the cfs_rq/se hierarchy thing
for task groups. The patch has been created w/o your 'sched/fair: Initiate a new
task's util avg to a bounded value' which recently went into tip/sched/core.

Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Aggregate task utilization only on the root
cfs_rq
cpu utilization is defined as the cpu (original) capacity capped
sched_avg.util_avg signal of the root cfs_rq of that cpu.
With the current pelt version, the utilization of a task enqueued/dequeued
on/from a cfs_rq, representing a task group other than the root task group
on a cpu, is not immediately propagated down to the root cfs_rq of that
cpu.
This makes decisions based on cpu_util() for scheduling or cpu frequency
settings less accurate in case tasks are running in task groups.
This patch aggregates the task utilization only on the root cfs_rq,
essentially bypassing cfs_rq's and se's representing task groups
(&rq_of(cfs_rq)->cfs != cfs_rq and !entity_is_task(se)).
