Bursty tasks are hard to predict. To use resources efficiently, the
system would like to be exact as much as possible. But this poses
a challenge for these bursty tasks that need to get access to more
resources quickly.

The new SCHED_QOS_RAMPUP_MULTIPLIER allows userspace to do that. As the
name implies, it only helps them to transition to a higher performance
state when they get _busier_. That is perfectly periodic tasks by
definition are not going through a transition and will run at a constant
performance level. It is the tasks that need to transition from one
periodic state to another periodic state that is at a higher level that
this rampup_multiplier will help with. It also slows down the ewma decay
of util_est which should help those bursty tasks to keep their faster
rampup.

This should work complimentary with uclamp. uclamp tells the system
about min and max perf requirements which can be applied immediately.

rampup_multiplier is about reactiveness of the task to change.
Specifically to a change for a higher performance level. The task might
necessary need to have a min perf requirements, but it can have sudden
burst of changes that require higher perf level and it needs the system
to provide this faster.

TODO: update the sched_qos docs
