Subject: [PATCH 13/18] sched: add power aware scheduling in fork/exec/wake

This patch add power aware scheduling in fork/exec/wake. It try to
select cpu from the busiest while still has utilization group. That's
will save power for other groups.

The trade off is adding a power aware statistics collection in group
seeking. But since the collection just happened in power scheduling
eligible condition, the worst case of hackbench testing just drops
about 2% with powersaving/balance policy. No clear change for
performance policy.

When the system burst by fork, the new tasks utils are may zero,
(rq->util == 0). that make new tasks go to few idle cpus, then will
be migrated to others in periodic load balance. That's not helpful
for both power/performance.
So this patch doesn't use rq.util to judge if the cpu has vacancy,
instead it uses nr_running of the rq.

BTW,
I had tried to tracking the burst forking, like just use nr_running when
the system has 2 or more forking in same tick. But it's still bad since
runnable load avg is tracking about 4S rq util, so one tick care is far
not enough.
