cpuidle: menu: Remove get_loadavg() from the performance multiplier
The function get_loadavg() returns almost always zero. To be more
precise, statistically speaking for a total of 1023379 times passing
in the function, the load is equal to zero 1020728 times, greater than
100, 610 times, the remaining is between 0 and 5.
In 2011, the get_loadavg() was removed from the Android tree because
of the above [1]. At this time, the load was:
unsigned long this_cpu_load(void)
{
struct rq *this = this_rq();
return this->cpu_load[0];
}
In 2014, the code was changed by commit 372ba8cb46b2 (cpuidle: menu: Lookup CPU
runqueues less) and the load is:
void get_iowait_load(unsigned long *nr_waiters, unsigned long *load)
{
struct rq *rq = this_rq();
*nr_waiters = atomic_read(&rq->nr_iowait);
*load = rq->load.weight;
}
with the same result.
Both measurements show using the load in this code path does no matter
anymore. Removing it.
