From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>
According to current policy, CFS's may suffer involuntary IO-latency by
being preempted by RT/DL tasks or IRQ since they possess the privilege for
both of CPU and IO scheduler. This commit introduce an approximate and
light method to decrease these affection by adjusting the expire time
via the CFS's proportion among the whole cpu active time.
The average utilization of cpu's run queue could reflect the historical
active proportion of different types of task that can be proved valid for
this goal from belowing three perspective,
1. All types of sched class's load(util) are tracked and calculated in the
same way(using a geometric series which known as PELT)
2. Keep the legacy policy by NOT adjusting rq's position in fifo_list
but only make changes over expire_time.
3. The fixed expire time(hundreds of ms) is in the same range of cpu
avg_load's account series(the utilization will be decayed to 0.5 in 32ms)

change of v2: introduce direction and threshold to make the hack working
as a guard for CFS's over-preempted.
