The responsiveness of the Per Entity Load Tracking (PELT) util_avg in
mobile devices is still considered too low for utilization changes
during task ramp-up.

In Android this manifests in the fact that the first frames of a UI
activity are very prone to be jankframes (a frame which doesn't meet
the required frame rendering time, e.g. 16ms@60Hz) since the CPU
frequency is normally low at this point and has to ramp up quickly.

The beginning of an UI activity is also characterized by the occurrence
of CPU contention, especially on little CPUs. Current little CPUs can
have an original CPU capacity of only ~ 150 which means that the actual
CPU capacity at lower frequency can even be much smaller.

Schedutil maps CPU util_avg into CPU frequency request via:

  util = effective_cpu_util(..., cpu_util_cfs(cpu), ...) ->
  util = map_util_perf(util) -> freq = map_util_freq(util, ...)

CPU contention for CFS tasks can be detected by 'CPU runnable > CPU
utililization' in cpu_util_cfs_boost() -> cpu_util(..., boost = 1).
Schedutil uses 'runnable boosting' by calling cpu_util_cfs_boost().

To be in sync with schedutil's CPU frequency selection, Energy Aware
Scheduling (EAS) also calls cpu_util(..., boost = 1) during max util
detection.

Moreover, 'runnable boosting' is also used in load-balance for busiest
CPU selection when the migration type is 'migrate_util', i.e. only at
sched domains which don't have the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set.
