(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 be overflow when entities
are too many. 

Although, overflow is very hardly occurred, but it break fairness when
it is occurred. And 64bits system have more memory than 32bits system
and 64bits system can create more process usually, so overflow many be
occurred more.

This patch guarantee fairness when overflow in 64bits system.
Thanks to the optimization of compiler, it change nothing in 32bits system.
