[PATCH 23/30] sched: optimize effective_load()

s_i = S * rw_i / \Sum_j rw_j

 -> \Sum_j rw_j = S * rw_i / s_i

 -> s'_i = S * (rw_i + w) / (\Sum_j rw_j + w)

delta s = s' - s = S * (rw + w) / ((S * rw / s) + w)
        = s * (S * (rw + w) / (S * rw + s * w) - 1)

 a = S*(rw+w), b = S*rw + s*w

delta s = s * (a-b) / b

IOW, trade one divide for two multiplies
