sched/fair: Remove SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST_FASTUP, true)

sched_feat(UTIL_EST_FASTUP) has been added to easily disable the feature
in order to check for possibly related regressions. After 3 years, it has
never been used and no regression has been reported. Let's remove it
and make fast increase a permanent behavior.

由于周期性任务的平均数在睡眠时会衰减,而在运行时其预期利用率会和睡眠前相同,
因此它们在再次运行后会面临DVFS的上涨。
为了缓解这个问题一个默认使能的编译选项UTIL_EST驱动一个无限脉冲响应
Infinite Impulse ResponseIIR的EWMA“运行”值在出队时是最高的。
另一个默认使能的编译选项UTIL_EST_FASTUP修改了IIR滤波器使其允许立即增加
仅在利用率下降时衰减。
UTIL_EST滤波使其在遇到更高值时立刻增加而遇到低值时会缓慢衰减。
进一步,运行队列的(可运行任务的)利用率之和由下式计算:
