sched/autogroup: Fix 64-bit kernel nice level adjustment
Michael Kerrisk reported:

Because autogroup didn't call the then meaningless scale_load()...
Autogroup nice level adjustment has been broken ever since load
resolution was increased for 64-bit kernels. Use scale_load() to
scale group weight.
Michael Kerrisk tested this patch to fix the problem:
> Applied and tested against 4.9-rc6 on an Intel u7 (4 cores).
> Test setup:
>
> Terminal window 1: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 2: running 40 CPU burner jobs
> Terminal window 1: running 1 CPU burner job
>
> Demonstrated that:
> * Writing "0" to the autogroup file for TW1 now causes no change
> to the rate at which the process on the terminal consume CPU.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup file for TW1 caused those processes
> to get the lion's share of CPU while TW2 TW3 get a tiny amount.
> * Writing -20 to the autogroup files for TW1 and TW3 allowed the
> process on TW3 to get as much CPU as it was getting as when
> the autogroup nice values for both terminals were 0.
