Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Optimize operations with single max CPU capacity

The max CPU capacity is the same for all CPUs sharing frequency domain
and thus 'policy' object. There is a way to avoid heavy operations
in a loop for each CPU by leveraging this knowledge. Thus, simplify
the looping code in the sugov_next_freq_shared() and drop heavy
multiplications. Instead, use simple max() to get the highest utilization
from these CPUs. This is useful for platforms with many (4 or 6) little
CPUs.

The max CPU capacity must be fetched every time we are called, due to
difficulties during the policy setup, where we are not able to get the
normalized CPU capacity at the right time.

The stored value in sugov_policy::max is also than used in
sugov_iowait_apply() to calculate the right boost. Thus, that field is
useful to have in that sugov_policy struct.

Hi all,

This is a different approach for the optimization of the looping,
fetching and multiplying the CPUs capacity (which is the same for all
in freq. domain).

As suggested by Viresh, to try to keep the sugov_policy::max usefulness.

This time the CPU capacity is fetched once every time is needed and then
simple max() formula for utilization is used (removed multiplications).

Regards,
Lukasz
