[PATCH v2 3/8] sched/pelt: Add a new function to approximate the future util_avg value

From: Qais Yousef
Date: Thu Dec 07 2023 - 19:24:20 EST


Given a util_avg value, the new function will return the future one
given a runtime delta.

This will be useful in later patches to help replace some magic margins
with more deterministic behavior.
