As RT, DL, IRQ time could be deemed as lost time of CFS's task, some
timing value want to know the distribution of how these spread
approximately by using utilization account value (nivcsw is not enough
sometimes). This commit would like to introduce a helper function to
achieve this goal.

eg.
Effective part of A = Total_time * cpu_util_cfs / cpu_util

Timing value A
(should be a process last for several TICKs or statistics of a repeadted
process)

Timing start
|
|
preempted by RT, DL or IRQ
|\
| This period time is nonvoluntary CPU give up, need to know how long
|/
sched in again
|
|
|
Timing end

Maybe I'm just thick but this still looks like alphabet soup to me.
Can you try to exlain why this matters, or maybe get help from the
scheduler folks to help with explaining the concepts?
