SCHED_LOAD_SCALE/SHIFT are the fixed point mult/shift, and NICE_0_LOAD
is the load of a nice-0 task. They happen to be the same by the choice
that nice-0 has a load of 1 (the only natural choice given proportional
weight and hyperboles etc..).

But for the fixed point math we use SCHED_LOAD_* and only when we want
to explicitly use the unit load we use NICE_0_LOAD (its only used 4-5
times or so).
