sched/fair: Fix effective_load() to consistently use smoothed load

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611833
commit 7dd4912594daf769a46744848b05bd5bc6d62469 upstream.

Starting with the following commit:

  fde7d22e01aa ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")

calc_tg_weight() doesn't compute the right value as expected by effective_load().

The difference is in the 'correction' term. In order to ensure \Sum
rw_j >= rw_i we cannot use tg->load_avg directly, since that might be
lagging a correction on the current cfs_rq->avg.load_avg value.
Therefore we use tg->load_avg - cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib +
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg.

Now, per the referenced commit, calc_tg_weight() doesn't use
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg, as is later used in @w, but uses
cfs_rq->load.weight instead.

So stop using calc_tg_weight() and do it explicitly.

The effects of this bug are wake_affine() making randomly
poor choices in cgroup-intense workloads.
