Commit: fde7d22e ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities") did something non-obvious but also did it buggy yet latent. The problem was exposed for real by a later commit in the v4.7 merge window: 2159197d ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels") ... after which tg->load_avg and cfs_rq->load.weight had different units (10 bit fixed point and 20 bit fixed point resp.). Add a comment to explain the use of cfs_rq->load.weight over the 'natural' cfs_rq->avg.load_avg and add scale_load_down() to correct for the difference in unit. Since this is (now, as per a previous commit) the only user of calc_tg_weight(), collapse it. The effects of this bug should be randomly inconsistent SMP-balancing of cgroups workloads. Reported-by:
