cpufreq: make schedutil the default for arm and arm64
schedutil is already a hard-requirement for EAS, which has lead to making it default on arm (when CONFIG_BIG_LITTLE), see: commit 8fdcca8e ("cpufreq: Select schedutil when using big.LITTLE") One thing worth pointing out is that schedutil isn't only relevant for asymmetric CPU capacity systems; for instance, schedutil is the only governor that honours util-clamp performance requests. Another good example of this is x86 switching to using it by default in: commit a00ec387 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor") Arguably it should be made the default for all architectures, but it seems better to wait for them to also gain frequency invariance powers. Make it the default for arm && arm64 for now.
