[PATCH] sched/fair: Refactor cpu_util_without()

From: Dietmar Eggemann
Date: Tue Mar 01 2022 - 12:17:46 EST


Except the 'task has no contribution or is new' condition at the
beginning of cpu_util_without(), a cpu_util_next(..., dst_cpu = -1)
call can replace the rest of this function.

The UTIL_EST specific check for a race between select_task_rq_fair()
and detach_task() in case of an enqueued or running WF_EXEC task has
to be moved to cpu_util_next().
This was initially introduced by commit c469933e7721
("sched/fair: Fix cpu_util_wake() for 'execl' type workloads").
UnixBench's `execl` throughput tests were run on the dual socket 40
CPUs Intel E5-2690 v2 machine to make sure the regression doesn't
occur again.

There is still a lot of CPU utilization related code. cpu_util_without()
and cpu_util_next() are very similar. In fact the former can be
refactored to use a call to the latter to be able to remove some
redundancy.
