sched/fair: Reduce the periodic update duration

Instead of using the cfs_rq_is_decayed() which monitors all *_avg
and *_sum, we create a cfs_rq_has_blocked() which only takes care of
util_avg and load_avg. We are only interested by these 2 values which are
decaying faster than the *_sum so we can stop the periodic update earlier.
