ondemand: Add support to consider other cpu load when scaling frequencies
Currently only current cpu load is considered when frequency scaling.
As a side effect of this when scheduler migrates a thread to a slower
core, the execution time increases unexpectedly.
The new algorithm not only considers current cpu load for frequency
scaling, but also takes into account load of other online cpus. The
treshold for this can be controlled using up_threshold_any_cpu_load.
When the up_threshold_any_cpu_load is crossed in any cpu then the
current cpu is set to sync_freq.
Also, when more than one cpu is online a two step ramp-up mechanism
is used. When the up_threshold_multi_core is crossed the cpu is ramped
up to optimal_freq which is less than policy->max and set to a power
friendly value.
