[PATCH 0/2] sched: Refine scheduler naming for clarity and specificity

[Jemmy Wong <jemmywong512@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm relatively new to Linux and eager to contribute to the community
with some foundational work.

I aim to help improve code readability and maintainability.
While reading the scheduler code, I found some naming inconsistencies
that made understanding the code more difficult.

Specifically:
1. Some function names do not accurately reflect their purpose.
2. Certain names are too general, making it unclear what they represent.
3. Some concepts are ambiguous, leading to potential confusion.

- Rename ttwu_do_wakeup to ttwu_set_running:
    - This function only sets task state to TASK_RUNNING,
        not performing the actual wakeup.

- Rename update_cfs_group to update_cfs_group_shares:
    - The name was too generic; specifying "shares" clarifies its purpose.

- Rename place_entity to update_entity_sched:
    - The function does not handle entity placement but updates
        sched info: vruntime, slice, and deadline.

- Rename update_load_<set, add, sub> to load_weight_<set, add, sub>:
    - "load" can refer to either PELT load or load weight, causing ambiguity;
        "load_weight" specifies it's dealing with weight.

- Rename struct sched_avg to struct sched_pelt:
    - This structure includes not just average statistics
        but also sums like <load, runnable, util>_sum, last_updae_time,
        all of which are PELT (Per-Entity Load Tracking) metrics.

- Rename init_entity_runnable_average to init_entity_pelt

This patch aims to improve code readability and reduce confusion by
ensuring names are more descriptive of their actual functionality or purpose.
