sched: fair: weight calculations
In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.
             A
            / \
           B   1
          / \
         2   3
To compute 1's load we do:
	   weight(1)
	--------------
	 rq_weight(A)
To compute 2's load we do:
	  weight(2)      weight(B)
	------------ * -----------
	rq_weight(B)   rw_weight(A)
This yields load fractions in comparable units.
The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:
                time_{i}
  vtime_{i} = ------------
               weight_{i}
  vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.
But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.
