sched: fix inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares
Impact: make load-balancing more consistent In the update_shares() path leading to tg_shares_up(), the calculation of per-cpu cfs_rq shares is rather erratic even under moderate task wake up rate. The problem is that the per-cpu tg->cfs_rq load weight used in the sd_rq_weight aggregation and actual redistribution of the cfs_rq->shares are collected at different time. Under moderate system load, we've seen quite a bit of variation on the cfs_rq->shares and ultimately wildly affects sched_entity's load weight. This patch caches the result of initial per-cpu load weight when doing the sum calculation, and then pass it down to update_group_shares_cpu() for redistributing per-cpu cfs_rq shares. This allows consistent total cfs_rq shares across all CPUs. It also simplifies the rounding and zero load weight check.
