[RFCv6 PATCH 04/10] sched/fair: add triggers for OPP change requests

[Steve Muckle]

From: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxx>

Each time a task is {en,de}queued we might need to adapt the current
frequency to the new usage. Add triggers on {en,de}queue_task_fair() for
this purpose.  Only trigger a freq request if we are effectively waking up
or going to sleep.  Filter out load balancing related calls to reduce the
number of triggers.

[smuckle@xxxxxxxxxx: resolve merge conflicts, define task_new,
 use renamed static key sched_freq]
