Hmm, rather than adding another variable to struct rq and another
callsite where we open code runnable-scaling we should consider at
least adding a wrapper, e.g.
/* when to_scale is a load weight callers must pass "scale_load(value)" */
static inline u32 scale_by_runnable_avg(struct sched_avg *avg, u32 to_scale) {
u32 result = se->avg.runnable_avg_sum * to_scale;
result /= (se->avg.runnable_avg_period + 1);
return result;
}
util can then just be scale_by_runnable_avg(&rq->avg, FULL_UTIL) and
if we don't need it frequently, it's now simple enough that we don't
need to cache it.
