sched/fair: Propagate an effective runnable_load_avg

Browse source

The load balancer uses runnable_load_avg as load indicator. For
!cgroup this is:

  runnable_load_avg = \Sum se->avg.load_avg ; where se->on_rq

That is, a direct sum of all runnable tasks on that runqueue. As
opposed to load_avg, which is a sum of all tasks on the runqueue,
which includes a blocked component.

However, in the cgroup case, this comes apart since the group entities
are always runnable, even if most of their constituent entities are
blocked.

Therefore introduce a runnable_weight which for task entities is the
same as the regular weight, but for group entities is a fraction of
the entity weight and represents the runnable part of the group
runqueue.

Then propagate this load through the PELT hierarchy to arrive at an
effective runnable load avgerage -- which we should not confuse with
the canonical runnable load average.
