Since commit 2159197d6677 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution
on 64-bit kernels") we now have two different fixed point units for
load.
load_above_capacity has to have 10 bit fixed point unit like PELT
whereas NICE_0_LOAD has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit kernels.
Fix this by scaling down NICE_0_LOAD when multiplying
load_above_capacity with it.
