Subject: [RFC v2 3/7] Improve the tracking of active utilisation

This patch implements a more theoretically sound algorithm for
thracking the active utilisation: instead of decreasing it when a
task blocks, use a timer (the "inactive timer", named after the
"Inactive" task state of the GRUB algorithm) to decrease the
active utilisaation at the so called "0-lag time".
