[RFCv6 PATCH 07/10] sched/fair: jump to max OPP when crossing UP threshold

[Steve Muckle]

Since the true utilization of a long running task is not detectable
while it is running and might be bigger than the current cpu capacity,
create the maximum cpu capacity head room by requesting the maximum
cpu capacity once the cpu usage plus the capacity margin exceeds the
current capacity. This is also done to try to harm the performance of
a task the least.
