Subject: [Patch v5 2/6] sched/fair: Add infrastructure to store and update  instantaneous thermal pressure

Add interface APIs to initialize, update/average, track, accumulate
and decay thermal pressure per cpu basis. A per cpu variable
thermal_pressure is introduced to keep track of instantaneous per
cpu thermal pressure. Thermal pressure is the delta between maximum
capacity and capped capacity due to a thermal event.
API trigger_thermal_pressure_average is called for periodic accumulate
and decay of the thermal pressure.This API passes on the instantaneous
thermal pressure of a cpu to update_thermal_load_avg to do the necessary
accumulate, decay and average.
API update_thermal_pressure is for the system to update the thermal
pressure by providing a capped maximum capacity.
Considering, trigger_thermal_pressure_average reads thermal_pressure and
update_thermal_pressure writes into thermal_pressure, one can argue for
some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value.
But considering trigger_thermal_pressure_average can be called from a
system critical path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism
is not ideal. This means that it is possible the thermal_pressure value
used to calculate average thermal pressure for a cpu can be
stale for upto 1 tick period.

v3->v4:
        - Dropped per cpu max_capacity_info struct and instead added a per
          delta_capacity variable to store the delta between maximum
          capacity and capped capacity. The delta is now calculated when
          thermal pressure is updated and not every tick.
        - Dropped populate_max_capacity_info api as only per cpu delta
          capacity is stored.
        - Renamed update_periodic_maxcap to
          trigger_thermal_pressure_average and update_maxcap_capacity to
          update_thermal_pressure.
v4->v5:
	- As per Peter's review comments folded thermal.c into fair.c.
	- As per Ionela's review comments revamped update_thermal_pressure
	  to take maximum available capacity as input instead of maximum
	  capped frequency ration.
