There is a comment 'Per the above, wl is the new *se->load.weight*
value'. This should be replaced by *se->avg.load_avg*. Also the function
header explains the functionality of effective_load() based on weight
and not sched_avg::load_avg.

You changed cfs_rq->load.weight to cfs_rq->avg.load_avg and
se->load.weight to se->avg.load_avg in effective_load() and
wake_affine() in v2.
I wasn't able to find explanation why you did this. I mean we still have
to maintain 'struct load_weight' on cfs_rq's and se's representing tg's.
