Schedutil multiplies the target frequency by 1.25 (20% more capacity eventually)
to get enough room for more load and similar thing is done in fair.c at several
places to see if the new task can fit in a runqueue without overloading it.

Quentin suggested to use common code for this calculation and that is what is
getting discussed here.
