[PATCH] sched: improve weight-array comments

Browse source 
improve the comments around the wmult array (which controls the weight
of niced tasks). Clarify that to achieve a 10% difference in CPU
utilization, a weight multiplier of 1.25 has to be used.

* The "10% effect" is relative and cumulative: from _any_ nice level,
* if you go up 1 level, it's -10% CPU usage, if you go down 1 level
* it's +10% CPU usage.
* it's +10% CPU usage. (to achieve that we use a multiplier of 1.25.
* If a task goes up by ~10% and another task goes down by ~10% then
* the relative distance between them is ~25%.)
