sched/fair: Initiate a new task's util avg to a bounded value

A new task's util_avg is set to full utilization of a CPU (100% time
running). This accelerates a new task's utilization ramp-up, useful to
boost its execution in early time. However, it may result in
(insanely) high utilization for a transient time period when a flood
of tasks are spawned. Importantly, it violates the "fundamentally
bounded" CPU utilization, and its side effect is negative if we don't
take any measure to bound it.

This patch proposes an algorithm to address this issue. It has
two methods to approach a sensible initial util_avg:

(1) An expected (or average) util_avg based on its cfs_rq's util_avg:

  util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight

(2) A trajectory of how successive new tasks' util develops, which
gives 1/2 of the left utilization budget to a new task such that
the additional util is noticeably large (when overall util is low) or
unnoticeably small (when overall util is high enough). In the meantime,
the aggregate utilization is well bounded:

  util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n

where n denotes the nth task.

If util_avg is larger than util_avg_cap, then the effective util is
clamped to the util_avg_cap.

* With new tasks being created, their initial util_avgs are extrapolated

*
* util_avg = cfs_rq->util_avg / (cfs_rq->load_avg + 1) * se.load.weight
*
* However, in many cases, the above util_avg does not give a desired
* value. Moreover, the sum of the util_avgs may be divergent, such
* as when the series is a harmonic series.
*
* To solve this problem, we also cap the util_avg of successive tasks to
* only 1/2 of the left utilization budget:
*
* util_avg_cap = (1024 - cfs_rq->avg.util_avg) / 2^n
*
* where n denotes the nth task.
*
* For example, a simplest series from the beginning would be like:
*
* task util_avg: 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, ...
* cfs_rq util_avg: 512, 768, 896, 960, 992, 1008, 1016, ...
*
* Finally, that extrapolated util_avg is clamped to the cap (util_avg_cap)
* if util_avg > util_avg_cap.
