sched: fix task_h_load()

Currently task_h_load() computes the load of a task and uses that to either
subtract it from the total, or add to it.

However, removing or adding a task need not have any effect on the total load
at all. Imagine adding a task to a group that is local to one cpu - in that
case the total load of that cpu is unaffected.

So properly compute addition/removal:

 s_i = S * rw_i / \Sum_j rw_j
 s'_i = S * (rw_i + wl) / (\Sum_j rw_j + wg)

then s'_i - s_i gives the change in load.

Where s_i is the shares for cpu i, S the group weight, rw_i the runqueue weight
for that cpu, wl the weight we add (subtract) and wg the weight contribution to
the runqueue.
