Not related to this patch directly but I still can't see how `GRUB-PA`
with schedutil CPUfreq governor should work together with GRUB reclaiming.
CPU frequency is influenced by Uact (rq->dl.running_bw):
sugov_get_util() -> effective_cpu_util() -> cpu_bw_dl() ->
return rq->dl.running_bw * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) >> BW_SHIFT
But the extra GRUB reclaim runtime is calculated based on rq->dl.max_bw
and AFAICS, Uact is not adjusted by scaled_delta_exec?
