[PATCH v2 6/7] sched: Add sched_overutilized tracepoint

[Qais Yousef <qais.yousef@arm.com>]

The new tracepoint allows us to track the changes in overutilized
status.

Overutilized status is associated with EAS. It indicates that the system
is in high performance state. EAS is disabled when the system is in this
state since there's not much energy savings while high performance tasks
are pushing the system to the limit and it's better to default to the
spreading behavior of the scheduler.

This tracepoint helps understanding and debugging the conditions under
which this happens.
