average: change to declare precision, not factor
Declaring the factor is counter-intuitive, and people are prone to using small(-ish) values even when that makes no sense. Change the DECLARE_EWMA() macro to take the fractional precision, in bits, rather than a factor, and update all users. While at it, add some more documentation. Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
