Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] Fix relationship between uclamp and fits_capacity()

Relationship between uclamp and fits_capacity() is currently broken. Mostly due
to how uclamp should interact with migration margin and capacity pressure. But
also due not all users were converted to consider uclamp before calling
fits_capacity(). Namely cpu_overutilized().

The meat of the series is patch 1 where we introduce a new function,
util_fits_cpu(), that takes uclamp into account. The new function should
replace all call sits to fits_capacity(), which what subsequent patches do.
Except for patch 7 where we fix handling of early exit condition in
find_energy_efficient_cpu(AKA feec()) that must be uclamp aware too.

util_fits_cpu() will revert back to a simple call to fits_capacity() if uclamp
is not being used on the system.

Last two patches still need testing and verification, but they address the
various thermal handling issues raised in v1. We can re-order the patches, but
added at the end to facilitate review at this stage. Hope the approach and the
logic make sense.

I'll be on holidays, so if I don't respond to review comments fast enough,
apologies in advance.

Changes in v2:

	* use uclamp_rq_is_idle() in uclamp_rq_util_with() (Xuewen)

	* Simplify logic in update_sg_wakeup_stats() when converting
	  task_fits_cpu() (Vincent)

	* Better handling of thermal pressure (Vincent)

	  - We consider thermal pressure for uclamp_min in patch 1
	  - 2 new patches to handle capacity inversion which improves handling
	    when:

		+ There're multiple big cpus on separate perf domains.
		+ A task is boosted by uclamp_min and inspite of thermal
		  pressure, the big cpu is still the best placement.

		  e.g: p0->util_avg = 300, p0->uclamp_min = 1024

		  This task should stay on big CPU until thermal pressure is in
		  capacity inversion.

	Thanks for all reviewers on v1!
