Subject: [RFCv3 PATCH 04/48] sched: Make sched entity usage tracking frequency-invariant

Apply frequency scale-invariance correction factor to usage tracking.
Each segment of the running_load_avg geometric series is now scaled by the
current frequency so the utilization_avg_contrib of each entity will be
invariant with frequency scaling. As a result, utilization_load_avg which is
the sum of utilization_avg_contrib, becomes invariant too. So the usage level
that is returned by get_cpu_usage, stays relative to the max frequency as the
cpu_capacity which is is compared against.
Then, we want the keep the load tracking values in a 32bits type, which implies
that the max value of {runnable|running}_avg_sum must be lower than
2^32/88761=48388 (88761 is the max weigth of a task). As LOAD_AVG_MAX = 47742,
arch_scale_freq_capacity must return a value less than
(48388/47742) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT = 1037 (SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY = 1024).
So we define the range to [0..SCHED_SCALE_CAPACITY] in order to avoid overflow.
