[RFC v4 4/6] sched/deadline: implement GRUB accounting

From: Luca Abeni
Date: Fri Dec 30 2016 - 06:34:09 EST


From: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@xxxxxxxx>

According to the GRUB (Greedy Reclaimation of Unused Bandwidth)
reclaiming algorithm, the runtime is not decreased as "dq = -dt",
but as "dq = -Uact dt" (where Uact is the per-runqueue active
utilization).
Hence, this commit modifies the runtime accounting rule in
update_curr_dl() to implement the GRUB rule.
