[PATCH 1/4] sched/fair: always used unsigned long for utilization

[Patrick Bellasi]

Utilization and capacity are tracked as unsigned long, however some
functions using them returns an int which is ultimately assigned back to
unsigned long variables.

Since there is not scope on using a different and signed type, this
consolidate the signature of functions returning utilization to always
use the native type.
As well as improving code consistency this is expected also benefits
code paths where utilizations should be clamped by voiding further type
conversions or ugly type casts.
