sched: fix load scaling in group balancing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
doing the load balance will change cfs_rq->load.weight (that's the whole point)
but since that's part of the scale factor, we'll scale back with a different
amount.

Weight getting smaller would result in an inflated moved_load which causes
it to stop balancing too soon.
