As the main.bpf.c file grows, it gets hard to maintain.
So, split it into multiple logical files. There is no
functional change.

When finding a victim candidate for preemption, a randomly chosen
candidate could be out of valid CPU range due to CPU offline, etc. In
this case, try another CPU randomly.

We used the average performance criticality of tasks as a threshold to
determine the proper core type (big or little). However, if the big
core's compute capacity is not half of the total compute capacity, such
an average-based determination becomes suboptimal. If fewer tasks are
classified as performance-critical tasks and requested to run on big
cores, the big cores would be wasted by stealing arbitrary
non-performance-critical tasks. That could result in performance
instability.
Hence, determine the threshold more accurately by considering (active)
big cores' compute capacity and the (approximated) distribution of
performance criticality of tasks.

As a preparation to improve the performance criticality logic, we first
rename "avg_perf_cri" to "thr_perf_cri" since average is no longer the
threshold.

If a waker is more latency critical than a wakee, inherit a waker's
latency criticality for the wakee. This allows the wakee to consider the
context of who wakes me up. For now, we limit such inheritance to one
hop and one schedule.

Previously, we found a victim from the entire CPUs, which include remote
or non-compatible CPUs. Now we limit our search for victim finding
within a task's compute domain.

Many kernel threads performs latency critical tasks (e.g., net, gpu). In
particular, AMD GPU driver runs the most part in the kernel space using
kworker. Hence, treat kernel threads as if a woken up task.

Use `cargo fmt` with a specific nightly branch in the CI to enforce formatting. Globally format these files while the diff is still small so we can stay on top of it.
Test plan:
- CI lint check passes.
Unexpectedly, little cores, which have relative short time slices, have
more chance to schedule performance-critical tasks. Hence it is better
to keep the time slice same regardless the core types.

When a pinned task cannot run on either active or overflow sets, we try
to stay on the previous CPU which is still okay to run on.

An old BPF verifier does not allow calling bpf_cpumask_set_cpu() in the
BPF syscall context, so we defer actual bpf_cpumask_set_cpu() to the
timer handler, update_sys_stat(), to workaround the problem.

If a task is performance-critical, pick_idle_cpu() checks if the
previous core is a big core or not. If not, don't try to run on previous
core since a performance-critical task is better to run on a big core.

A single threshold for a low watermark does not work well across systems
with various numbers of cores and core types. Instead of using a single
low watermark value, we dynamically decide the low watermark: 1) until
one little core is fully utilized or 2) until two big cores are fully
utilized. This works better across systems.

When the no_freq_scaling changes during runtime in the autopilot mode,
the last target freq set would not be 1024. So the performance mode
enabled by the autopilot mode would not run in the best profile. Hence,
we set the target freq to 1024 always when no_freq_scaling is set.

Add "--autopilot" option and mode. In the autopilot mode, the scheduler
dynamically changes its power mode according to system's load (cpu
utilization). When the cpu utilization is low enough (say <=5%), it
switches to the powersave mode since there is nothing to process fast so
powersaving is the primary goal. When the utilization is moderate (say
>5%, <=30%), it runs in balanced mode. When the utilization is high
enough (say >30%), it runs in performance mode.
Note that it only changes scheduler's power mode but it does not change
system's energy profile.

When a cpu is idle for a whole interval, its idle time does not

When the power mode changes back to performance mode, we should

active cpumask and all little cores are in overflow cpumask. Otherwise,
the active/overflow cpumasks will be used in the perfformance mode.
