Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Rename weighted_cpuload() to cpu_runnable_load()
The term 'weighted' is not needed since there is no 'unweighted' load.
Instead use the term 'runnable' to distinguish 'runnable' load
(avg.runnable_load_avg) used in load balance from load (avg.load_avg)
which is the sum of 'runnable' and 'blocked' load.

Related to the question whether replacing the 'struct rq *rq' parameter
with 'int cpu' (cpu_rq(cpu)) for cpu_runnable_load() has an influence
on the code:
RELOC_HIDE() (in per_cpu_ptr() -> SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR()) hinders the
compiler to generate similar code (e.g. in update_sg_lb_stats()).
When using 'int cpu' the addressing mode changed from Based Addressing
to Based_indexed-Scaled. Moreover, the text size of fair.o grows by 32
bytes.
