sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature
in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has
never been used and no regression has been reported. Let remove it
and make fast increase a permanent behavior.

由于周期性任务的平均数在睡眠时会衰减，而在运行时其预期利用率会和睡眠前相同，
因此它们在再次运行后会面临（DVFS）的上涨。
为了缓解这个问题，（一个默认使能的编译选项）UTIL_EST驱动一个无限脉冲响应

+UTIL_EST滤波使其在遇到更高值时立刻增加，而遇到低值时会缓慢衰减。
进一步，运行队列的（可运行任务的）利用率之和由下式计算：
