sched: Maintain the load contribution of blocked entities
We are currently maintaining: runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t) For all running children t of cfs_rq. While this can be naturally updated for tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for the load contributed by blocked task entities. This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load: blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b) Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for their decay, we instead observe that: runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute: y*runnable_load(t). This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating: blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq) Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.
