sched/fair: Propagate an effective runnable_load_avg
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.
...
```
The commit is in kernel 4.15 release and will make current
runqlen.py internal cfs_rq_partial structure not syncing with the kernel one.
As a result, runqlen.py will produce incorrect results on 4.15.
This patch attempts to solve this issue by compiling a bpf program,
which accesses one of fields introduced by the above commit.
The successful compilation will indicate that we should amend
the cfs_rq_partial structure.
