[RFD PATCH 4/5] sched/cpufreq_schedutil: always consider all CPUs when deciding next freq

From: Juri Lelli
Date: Fri Mar 24 2017 - 10:10:21 EST


No assumption can be made upon the rate at which frequency updates get
triggered, as there are scheduling policies (like SCHED_DEADLINE) which
don't trigger them so frequently.

Remove such assumption from the code.
