[RFC PATCH 02/16] sched/pelt: Add a new function to approximate the future util_avg value

[Qais Yousef]

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.
