Subject: [PATCH] sched: add avg_overlap decay

Impact: more precise avg_overlap metric - better load-balancing

avg_overlap is used to measure the runtime overlap of the waker and
wakee.

However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes
un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup
for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale.

When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a
measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be
correlated to cache footprint.

The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be
migrated to another CPU.
