Currently, the margin of cpu frequency raising and cpu overutilized are
hard-coded as 25% (1280/1024). Make the margin tunable
to control the aggressive for placement and frequency control. Such as
for power tuning framework could adjust smaller margin to slow down
frequency raising speed and let task stay in smaller cpu.
For light loading scenarios, like beach buggy blitz and messaging apps,
the app threads are moved big core with 25% margin and causing
unnecessary power.
With 0% capacity margin (1024/1024), the app threads could be kept in
little core and deliver better power results without any fps drop.
