    sched: Improve readability in update_cpu_load() code
    
    Currently the cpu_load[i] is calculated as:
    	this_rq->cpu_load[i] = (old_load*(scale-1) + new_load) >> i;
    
    However, since scale = 2^i, this can be simplified as:
    	this_rq->cpu_load[i] = old_load + ((new_load - old_load) >> i);
    
    Makes it easier to read.
