Subject: Re: [PATCH 14/16] sched: make __update_entity_runnable_avg() fast

Correct, the sum is 1..n. The maximum was chosen as 516/46742 because
that is the point when the approximation of loop + fixed point math
being used reaches a maximum, even if the ideal y^n series would cap out
slightly differently.
