Subject: [PATCH 3/8] sched/cpufreq: new cfs capacity margin helpers

Introduce helper functions that allow cpufreq governors to change the
value of the capacity margin applied to the cfs_rq->avg.util_avg signal.
This allows for run-time tuning of the margin.

A follow-up patch will update the schedutil governor to use these
helpers.
