[PATCH v7 5/7] sched: get CPU's usage statistic

Monitor the usage level of each group of each sched_domain level. The usage is
the amount of cpu_capacity that is currently used on a CPU or group of CPUs.
We use the utilization_load_avg to evaluate the usage level of each group.

The utilization_avg_contrib only takes into account the running time but not
the uArch so the utilization_load_avg is in the range [0..SCHED_LOAD_SCALE]
to reflect the running load on the CPU. We have to scale the utilization with
the capacity of the CPU to get the usage of the latter. The usage can then be
compared with the available capacity.

The frequency scaling invariance is not taken into account in this patchset,
it will be solved in another patchset
