sched: Avoid expensive initial update_cfs_load()
Since cfs->{load_stamp,load_last} are zero-initalized the initial load update will consider the delta to be 'since the beginning of time'. This results in a lot of pointless divisions to bring this large period to be within the sysctl_sched_shares_window. Fix this by initializing load_stamp to be 1 at cfs_rq initialization, this allows for an initial load_stamp > load_last which then lets standard idle truncation proceed. We avoid spinning (and slightly improve consistency) by fixing delta to be [period - 1] in this path resulting in a slightly more predictable shares ramp. (Previously the amount of idle time preserved by the overflow would range between [period/2,period-1].)
