sched/cpufreq: Modify aggregate utilization to always include blocked FAIR utilization
Since the refactoring introduced by: commit 8f111bc3 ("cpufreq/schedutil: Rewrite CPUFREQ_RT support") we aggregate FAIR utilization only if this class has runnable tasks. This was mainly due to avoid the risk to stay on an high frequency just because of the blocked utilization of a CPU not being properly decayed while the CPU was idle. However, since: commit 31e77c93 ("sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle") the FAIR blocked utilization is properly decayed also for IDLE CPUs. This allows us to use the FAIR blocked utilization as a safe mechanism to gracefully reduce the frequency only if no FAIR tasks show up on a CPU for a reasonable period of time. Moreover, we also reduce the frequency drops of CPUs running periodic tasks which, depending on the task periodicity and the time required for a frequency switch, was increasing the chances to introduce some undesirable performance variations.
