sched/fair: Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime, and helper functions

The ::avg_vruntime field is a  misnomer: it says it's an
'average vruntime', but in reality it's the momentary sum
of the weighted vruntimes of all queued tasks, which is
at least a division away from being an average.

This is clear from comments about the math of fair scheduling:

    * \Sum (v_i - v0) * w_i := cfs_rq->avg_vruntime

This confusion is increased by the cfs_avg_vruntime() function,
which does perform the division and returns a true average.

The sum of all weighted vruntimes should be named thusly,
so rename the field to ::sum_w_vruntime. (As arguably
::sum_weighted_vruntime would be a bit of a mouthful.)

Understanding the scheduler is hard enough already, without
extra layers of obfuscated naming. ;-)

Also rename related helper functions:

  sum_vruntime_add()    => sum_w_vruntime_add()
  sum_vruntime_sub()    => sum_w_vruntime_sub()
  sum_vruntime_update() => sum_w_vruntime_update()

With the notable exception of cfs_avg_vruntime(), which
was named accurately.
