I am not sure I know the answer, but I have a question which you can
answer :)

Is it possible for a CPU (which already has high priority deadline
activity going on) to be busy enough to be not able to run the
schedutil kthread for sometime ? That would be the only case I believe
where it would be better to let some other CPU go and change the
frequency for this one as we better run faster while we have the high
load going on.
