[PATCH v3] sched: revise the initial value of the util_avg.

[Xuewen Yan <xuewen.yan94@gmail.com>]

According to the original code logic:
		cfs_rq->avg.util_avg
sa->util_avg  = -------------------- * se->load.weight
		cfs_rq->avg.load_avg
but for fair_sched_class in 64bits platform:
se->load.weight = 1024 * sched_prio_to_weight[prio];
	cfs_rq->avg.util_avg
so the  -------------------- must be extremely small, the
	cfs_rq->avg.load_avg
judgment condition "sa->util_avg < cap" could be established.
It's not fair for those tasks who has smaller nice value.

this should have been scale_load_down(se->load.weight) from the beginning

This is only true for 64bits platform otherwise scale_load and
scale_load_down are nop

We should now use cpu_util() instead of cfs_rq->avg.util_avg which
takes into account other classes

Why this else keeps using se->load.weight ?

Either we uses sa->util_avg  = cfs_rq->avg.util_avg * se_weight(se);
for all classes

Or we want a different init value for other classes. But in this case
se->load.weight is meaningless and we should simply set them to 0
although we could probably compute a value based on bandwidth for
deadline class.
