[PATCH 0/4] Fix dvfs_headroom escaping uclamp constraints

[Qais Yousef]

DVFS headroom, or map_util_perf(), is applied after uclamp restrictions are
applied in effective_cpu_util(). This will lead to two problems for uclamp:

	1. If util < uclamp_min, we'll run faster than uclamp_min. For example
	   util = 50, uclamp_min = 100. map_util_perf() = 125 instead of 100.

	2. If util > uclamp_max, we'll run faster than uclamp_max. For example
	   util = 900, uclamp_max = 800, map_util_perf() = 1000.

First patch rename the function to apply_dvfs_headroom() to reflect what it
really does. It is not really mapping util, but provides some headroom for the
util to grow. Provide a documentation for the function too.

Second patch is the actual fix.

Third patch moves apply_dvfs_headroom() to sched.h as there are no longer
users outside the scheduler.

Fourth patch is an RFC to redefine what the headroom means for RT, DL and IRQ
pressures.

Thanks!
