[PATCH v3 6/6] sched/fair: Move (inactive) option from code to config

[Yuyang Du]

The option of increased load resolution (fixed point arithmetic range) is
unconditionally deactivated with #if 0. But since it may still be used
somewhere (e.g., in Google), we want to keep this option.

Regardless, there should be a way to express this option. Considering the
current circumstances, the reconciliation is we define a config
CONFIG_CFS_INCREASE_LOAD_RANGE and it depends on FAIR_GROUP_SCHED and
64BIT and BROKEN.
