[Patch v4 2/6] sched: Add infrastructure to store and update instantaneous thermal pressure

Add thermal.c and thermal.h files that provides interface
APIs to initialize, update/average, track, accumulate and decay
thermal pressure per cpu basis. A per cpu variable delta_capacity is
introduced to keep track of instantaneous per cpu thermal pressure.
Thermal pressure is the delta between maximum capacity and capped
capacity due to a thermal event.
API trigger_thermal_pressure_average is called for periodic accumulate
and decay of the thermal pressure. It is to to be called from a
periodic tick function. This API passes on the instantaneous delta
capacity of a cpu to update_thermal_load_avg to do the necessary
accumulate, decay and average.
API update_thermal_pressure is for the system to update the thermal
pressure by providing a capped frequency ratio.
Considering, trigger_thermal_pressure_average reads delta_capacity and
update_thermal_pressure writes into delta_capacity, one can argue for
some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value.
But considering trigger_thermal_pressure_average can be called from a
system critical path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism
is not ideal. This means that it is possible the delta_capacity value
used to calculate average thermal pressure for a cpu can be
stale for upto 1 tick period.

v3->v4:
- Dropped per cpu max_capacity_info struct and instead added a per
delta_capacity variable to store the delta between maximum
capacity and capped capacity. The delta is now calculated when
thermal pressure is updated and not every tick.
- Dropped populate_max_capacity_info api as only per cpu delta
capacity is stored.
- Renamed update_periodic_maxcap to
trigger_thermal_pressure_average and update_maxcap_capacity to
update_thermal_pressure.
