Subject: [PATCH 1/1] sched: Consider CPU contention in frequency & load-balance busiest CPU selection
Date:   Thu,  6 Apr 2023 17:50:30 +0200

Use new cpu_boosted_util_cfs() instead of cpu_util_cfs().

The former returns max(util_avg, runnable_avg) capped by max CPU
capacity. CPU contention is thereby considered through runnable_avg.

The change in load-balance only affects migration type `migrate_util`.
