sched: Improve short sleeping tasks detection

When a short sleeping task goes for a long sleep, the task's
avg_sleep_time signal gets boosted. This signal will not go
below short_sleep threshold for a long time time even when the
task run in short bursts. This results in frequent preemption
of other tasks as the short burst tasks are placed on busy CPUs.

The idea behind tracking avg_sleep_time signal is to detect if a
task is short sleeping or not. Limit the sleep time to twice the
short sleep threshold to make avg_sleep_time signal more responsive.
This won't affect regular long sleeping tasks, as the avg_sleep_time
would be higher than threshold.
