Thank a lot for review!

div_u64 or do_div will do force cast u32 on the divisor, so in 64bit machine, 
the divisor may become incorrect.
Since cfs_rq->runnable_load_avg is always smaller the cfs_rq.load.weight. and 
load.weight is 'unsigned long', we can cast the runnable_load_avg to 
'unsigned long' too. Than the div will fit on both 64/32 bit machine and no 
data concatenate!

So the patch changed as following.

BTW, Paul & Peter:
in cfs_rq, runnable_load_avg, blocked_load_avg, tg_load_contrib are all
u64, but their are similar with 'unsigned long' load.weight. So could we change
them to 'unsigned long'?

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] sched: consider runnable load average in move_tasks

Except using runnable load average in background, move_tasks is also
the key functions in load balance. We need consider the runnable load
average in it in order to the apple to apple load comparison.

Morten catch a div u64 bug on ARM, thanks!
