sched: Reduce overestimating rq->avg_idle
When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause avg_idle to often be overestimated. This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set it to the max.
