#1647846 — [PATCH RFC 5/8] sched/cpufreq_schedutil: always consider all CPUs when deciding next freq

No assumption can be made upon the rate at which frequency updates get
triggered, as there are scheduling policies (like SCHED_DEADLINE) which
don't trigger them so frequently.

Remove such assumption from the code, by always considering
SCHED_DEADLINE utilization signal as not stale.

Changes from RFD
 - discard CFS contribution only as stale (as suggested by Rafael)
