Subject: [PATCH v5 08/10] cpufreq/schedutil: take into account interrupt

The time spent under interrupt can be significant but it is not reflected
in the utilization of CPU when deciding to choose an OPP. Now that we have
access to this metric, schedutil can take it into account when selecting
the OPP for a CPU.
The CPU utilization is :
  irq util_avg + (1 - irq util_avg / max capacity ) * /Sum rq util_avg

A test with iperf on hikey (octo arm64) gives:
iperf -c server_address -r -t 5

w/o patch		w/ patch
Tx 276 Mbits/sec        304 Mbits/sec +10%
Rx 299 Mbits/sec        328 Mbits/sec +09%

8 iterations
stdev is lower than 1%
Only WFI idle state is enable (shallowest diel state)
