sched/fair: Fix effective_load() to consistently use smoothed load
Starting with the following commit: fde7d22e01aa ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities") calc_tg_weight() doesn't compute the right value as expected by effective_load(). The difference is in the 'correction' term. In order to ensure \Sum rw_j >= rw_i we cannot use tg->load_avg directly, since that might be lagging a correction on the current cfs_rq->avg.load_avg value. Therefore we use tg->load_avg - cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib + cfs_rq->avg.load_avg. Now, per the referenced commit, calc_tg_weight() doesn't use cfs_rq->avg.load_avg, as is later used in @w, but uses cfs_rq->load.weight instead. So stop using calc_tg_weight() and do it explicitly. The effects of this bug are wake_affine() making randomly poor choices in cgroup-intense workloads.
