sched/fair: Make load tracking frequency scale-invariant
Apply frequency scaling correction factor to per-entity load tracking to
make it frequency invariant. Currently, load appears bigger when the CPU
is running slower which affects load-balancing decisions.
Each segment of the sched_avg.load_sum geometric series is now scaled by
the current frequency so that the sched_avg.load_avg of each sched entity
will be invariant from frequency scaling.
Moreover, cfs_rq.runnable_load_sum is scaled by the current frequency as
well.
