In certain scenarios this can have undesired side effects on task placement. For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, when a long sleeping big task is enqueued it does not add immediately a significant contribution to the target CPU. As a result we generate a race condition where other tasks can be placed on the same CPU while it is still considered relatively empty. In order to reduce this kind of race conditions, this patch introduces the required support to integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization in cpu_util_wake as well as in update_sg_lb_stats. The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between its PELT's utilization and the sum of the estimated utilization of the tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU. This allows to properly represent the spare capacity of a CPU which, for example, has just got a big task running since a long sleep period.
