sched: 64-bit: fix arithmetics overflow
(overflow means weight >= 2^32 here, because inv_weigh = 2^32/weight)
A weight of a cfs_rq is the sum of weights of which entities
are queued on this cfs_rq, so it will overflow when there are
too many entities.
Although, overflow occurs very rarely, but it break fairness when
it occurs. 64-bits systems have more memory than 32-bit systems
and 64-bit systems can create more process usually, so overflow may
occur more frequently.
This patch guarantees fairness when overflow happens on 64-bit systems.
Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it changes nothing on 32-bit.
