sched/fair: Fix util_est UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED handling
The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent
unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is
exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()).
Commit 92a801e5d5b7 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages")
mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but
find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to
return prev_cpu early.
_task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and
util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED.
So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and
_task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default
SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true).
To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag
util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est().
The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of
'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value.
As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter
UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should
be easy to do.
This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update()
only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation:
last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)
