Subject: sched: odd values for effective load calculations

Hi all,

I was fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest, running the latest -next
kernel along with the undefined behaviour sanitizer patch, and hit the following:

The values for effective load seem a bit off (and are overflowing!).

One change I did recently was to disable lock debugging, could it be related?
