sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()
update_cfs_rq_load_avg() calls cfs_rq_util_change() every time PELT decays, which might be inefficient when the cpufreq driver has rate limitation. When a task is attached on a CPU, we have this call path: update_load_avg() update_cfs_rq_load_avg() cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update attach_entity_load_avg() cfs_rq_util_change -- > trig frequency update The 1st frequency update will not take into account the utilization of the newly attached task and the 2nd one might be discarded because of rate limitation of the cpufreq driver. update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is only called by update_blocked_averages() and update_load_avg() so we can move the call to cfs_rq_util_change/cpufreq_update_util() into these two functions. It's also interesting to note that update_load_avg() already calls cfs_rq_util_change() directly for the !SMP case. This change will also ensure that cpufreq_update_util() is called even when there is no more CFS rq in the leaf_cfs_rq_list to update, but only IRQ, RT or DL PELT signals.
