Add a few comments to (hopefully) clarifying some of the magic in
sugov_get_util().

* cpu_bw_dl()

* which excludes things like IRQ and steal-time. These latter are then accrued
* in the irq utilization.
*
* The DL bandwidth number otoh is not a measured metric but a value computed
* based on the task model parameters and gives the minimal utilization
* required to meet deadlines.
