Should this filtering instead happen on the governor side?
Even if the CFS load itself didn't change, we could have switched from an
RT/DL thread to a CFS thread so util would have to be updated from ULONG_MAX
to whatever CFS needs right?
Also now that CFS enqueue calls cpufreq_update_util, RT/DL requests could
potentially get overridden.
