[PATCH 1/2 v5] sched/fair: unlink misfit task from cpu overutilized

[Vincent Guittot]

By taking into account uclamp_min, the 1:1 relation between task misfit
and cpu overutilized is no more true as a task with a small util_avg may
not fit a high capacity cpu because of uclamp_min constraint.

Add a new state in util_fits_cpu() to reflect the case that task would fit
a CPU except for the uclamp_min hint which is a performance requirement.

Use -1 to reflect that a CPU doesn't fit only because of uclamp_min so we
can use this new value to take additional action to select the best CPU
that doesn't match uclamp_min hint.

When util_fits_cpu() returns -1, we will continue to look for a possible
CPU with better performance, which replaces Capacity Inversion detection
with capacity_orig_of() - thermal_load_avg to detect a capacity inversion.
