CHROMIUM: sched: update the average of nr_running

Doing a Exponential moving average per nr_running++/-- does not
guarantee a fixed sample rate which induces errors if there are lots of
threads being enqueued/dequeued from the rq (Linpack mt). Instead of
keeping track of the avg, the scheduler now keeps track of the integral
of nr_running and allows the readers to perform filtering on top.
