sched: Fix cgroup smp fairness

Commit ec4e0e2fe018992d980910db901637c814575914 ("fix
inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares")
broke cgroup smp fairness.

In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never
quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but
instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present.

If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that
means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated
every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness.

Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually
setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated
number.
