[PATCH v9 05/10] sched: make scale_rt invariant with frequency

From: vincent.guittot@linaro.org (Vincent Guittot)

The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.

A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.

In sched_rt_avg_update, we scale the RT execution time like below:
rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE -
		((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / period)

We can optimize by removing right and left shift in the computation of rq->rt_avg
and scale_rt_capacity

The call to arch_scale_frequency_capacity in the rt scheduling path might be
a concern for RT folks because I'm not sure whether we can rely on
arch_scale_freq_capacity to be short and efficient ?
