The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the task is dequeued. However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms. Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every few activations. This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg signal has never been updated during a task activation. Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued. This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still considered good enough for its purpose. The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation. Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems. Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization scheduler feature.
