sched: Fix cgroup smp fairness
Commit ec4e0e2fe018992d980910db901637c814575914 ("fix inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares") broke cgroup smp fairness. In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present. If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness. Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated number.
