I don't think this is correct. If UTIL_EST is enabled, cpu_util_wake()
will return the max between the util_avg and the util_est. When you call
it, you don't know what you get. Adding the _task_util_est() to
cpu_util_wake() is wrong if cpu_util_avg > cpu_util_est for example.

I'm not sure to get that one ... What is task_util_wake() ?

Thanks,
