Subject: [Patch v4 1/6] sched/pelt.c: Add support to track thermal pressure

Extrapolating on the exisiting framework to track rt/dl utilization using
pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The
difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of
tracking time spent by a cpu running a rt/dl task through util_avg,
the average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is
because thermal pressure signal is weighted "delta" capacity
and is not binary(util_avg is binary). "delta capacity" here
means delta between the actual capacity of a cpu and the decreased
capacity a cpu due to a thermal event.
In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable
avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_avg can be called
to do the periodic bookeeping (accumulate, decay and average)
of the thermal pressure.

v3->v4:
	- Renamed update_thermal_avg to update_thermal_load_avg.
	- Fixed typos as per review comments on mailing list
	- Reordered the code as per review comments
