* MIN_SHARES has to be unscaled here to support per-CPU partitioning
* of a group with small tg->shares value. It is a floor value which is
* assigned as a minimum load.weight to the sched_entity representing
* the group on a CPU.
*
* E.g. on 64-bit for a group with tg->shares of scale_load(15)=15*1024
* on an 8-core system with 8 tasks each runnable on one CPU shares has
* to be 15*1024*1/8=1920 instead of scale_load(MIN_SHARES)=2*1024. In
* case no task is runnable on a CPU MIN_SHARES=2 should be returned
* instead of 0.
