[RFC][PATCH 5/7] sched: power: Increase cpu capacity based on rq tracked load

[Morten Rasmussen]

weighted_cpuload() gives the sum of priority scaled task loads. One
NICE 0 task is not be enough load to trigger a cpu capacity increase
when cpu_power > 1024. The rq->avg.runnable_avg_sum tracks the actual
busy time of the cpu and is therefore a more accurate indication of
the cpu load. If the rq tracked load is high the cpu is busy even if
the weighted_cpuload() should indicate otherwise.
