I gave this a try on the Pixel 6, and I noticed some improvement (see below), but not
enough to bring it back to the original levels.

(1) m6.6-stock - Basic EEVDF with wakeup preemption fix (baseline)
(2) m6.6-eevdf-complete: m6.6-stock plus this series.
(3) m6.6-eevdf-complete-no-delay-dequeue: (2) + NO_DELAY_DEQUEUE
(4) m6.6-eevdf-complete-no-delay-dequeue-no-delay-zero: (2) + NO_DELAY_DEQUEUE + NO_DELAY_ZERO
(5) m6.6-eevdf-complete-no-delay-zero: (2) + NO_DELAY_ZERO
(6) m6.6-eevdf-complete-pelt-fix: (2) + the proposed load_avg update patch.

I included (3), (4) and (5) to exercise the impact of disabling the individual
scheduler features.
