sched/fair: Optimize per entity utilization tracking

Browse source

Currently the load_{sum,avg} and util_{sum,avg} tracking is asymmetric
in that load tracking gets a 2^10 unit from the weight, but util gets
no such factor.

This results in more lost bits for util scaling and asymmetric scaling
rules.

Fix this by removing shifts, such that we gain the 2^10 factor from
scaling. There is no risk of overflowing the u32 as the max value is
now LOAD_AVG_MAX << 10, which is still well below UINT_MAX.

This further entangles the assumption that both LOAD and CAPACITY
shifts are the same (and 10) so put in an assertion for that.

This fixes the math for the LOAD_RESOLUTION != 0 case.
