Nick Piggin ff91691bcc [PATCH] sched: avoid div in rebalance_tick
Avoid expensive integer divide 3 times per CPU per tick.

A userspace test of this loop went from 26ns, down to 19ns on a G5; and
from 123ns down to 28ns on a P3.

(Also avoid a variable bit shift, as suggested by Alan. The effect
of this wasn't noticable on the CPUs I tested with).
