sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- again
commit 5167e8d5417bf5c322a703d2927daec727ea40dd upstream.
Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code:
- If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a
negative bias because we can negate our own sample.
- If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias
because we push the sample to a known active period.
So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding
copious documentation to the code.
