sched: Add per CPU load tracking for each task
Keeping a track of the load footprint of each task on every CPU
that it executed on gives the scheduler much more flexibility in
terms of the number of frequency guidance policies. These new fields
will be used in subsequent patches as we alter the load fixup
mechanism upon task migration. We still need to maintain the
curr/prev_window sums as they will also be required in subsequent
patches as we start to track top tasks based on cumulative load.
Also, we need to call init_new_task_load() for the idle task. This
is an existing harmless bug as load tracking for the idle task is
irrelevant. However, in this patch we are adding pointers to the
ravg structure. These pointers have to be initialized even for the
idle task.
Finally move init_new_task_load() to sched_fork(). This was always
the more appropriate place, however, following the introduction of
new pointers in the ravg struct, this is necessary to avoid races
with functions such as reset_all_task_stats().
