Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/14] sched: normalize tg load contributions against
	runnable time

Entities of equal weight should receive equitable distribution of cpu time.
This is challenging in the case of a task_group's shares as execution may be
occurring on multiple cpus simultaneously.

To handle this we divide up the shares into weights proportionate with the load
on each cfs_rq.  This does not however, account for the fact that the sum of
the parts may be less than one cpu and so we need to normalize:
  load(tg) = min(runnable_avg(tg), 1) * tg->shares
Where runnable_avg is the aggregate time in which the task_group had runnable
children.
