[RFC v3 4/6] GRUB accounting

From: Luca Abeni
Date: Mon Oct 24 2016 - 10:07:30 EST


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.
