Subject: [PATCH 12/18] sched: log the cpu utilization at rq

The cpu's utilization is to measure how busy is the cpu.
        util = cpu_rq(cpu)->avg.runnable_avg_sum
                / cpu_rq(cpu)->avg.runnable_avg_period;

Since the util is no more than 1, we use its percentage value in later
caculations.

Considering there are interval between balancing, if the cpu util is
up to 97%, we can think it is full of load in a health kernel.

In later power aware scheduling, we are sensitive for how busy of the
cpu, not how weight of its load. As to power comsuming, it is more
related with busy time, not the load weight.
