        ------

        OperatingSystemImpl.getCpuLoad() may return 1.0 in a container, even though the CPU load is obviously below 100%.

        We created a 5-core container and run 4 "while (true)" loops in the container. OperatingSystemImpl.getCpuLoad() returned 1.0, which is incorrect (0.8 is correct).
        "systemLoad" in getCpuLoad() is exactly 4.0 before "systemLoad = Math.min(1.0, systemLoad);". The problem is caused by using the elapsed time (specified by "cpu.cfs_period_us") instead of the total CPU time (specified by "cpu.cfs_quota_us"). Therefore, it is more reasonable to divide cpu usage time by "quotaNanos" instead of "elapsedNanos".
