[Patch 3/4 v2] sched: change how cpu load is calculated

[Srivatsa Vaddagiri]

This patch changes how the cpu load exerted by fair_sched_class tasks
is calculated. Load exerted by fair_sched_class tasks on a cpu is now a
summation of the group weights, rather than summation of task weights.
Weight exerted by a group on a cpu is dependent on the shares allocated
to it.

This version of patch (v2 of Patch 3/4) has a minor impact on code size
(but should have no runtime/functional impact) for !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED 
case, but the overall code, IMHO, is neater compared to v1 of Patch 3/4
(because of lesser #ifdefs).

I prefer v2 of Patch 3/4.
