[RFC PATCH 4/6] sched/fair: Introduce an energy estimation helper function

From: Quentin Perret <quentin.perret@arm.com>

In preparation for the definition of an energy-aware wakeup path, a
helper function is provided to estimate the consequence on system energy
when a specific task wakes-up on a specific CPU. compute_energy()
estimates the OPPs to be reached by all frequency domains and estimates
the consumption of each online CPU according to its energy model and its
percentage of busy time.
