Subject: [Patch v3 7/7] sched: thermal: Enable tuning of decay period

Thermal pressure follows pelt signas which means the
decay period for thermal pressure is the default pelt
decay period. Depending on soc charecteristics and thermal
activity, it might be beneficial to decay thermal pressure
slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals.
One way to achieve this slow decay is to right shift the now
run time.
