The reason is that se->load.weight has the unit/scale as the scaled-up load, while cfs_rg->avg.load_avg has the unit/scale as the true task weight (as mapped directly from the task's nice/priority value). With CONFIG_32BIT, the scaled-up load is equal to the true task weight. With CONFIG_64BIT, the scaled-up load is 1024 times the true task weight. Thus, the current code may inflate the util_avg by 1024 times. The follow-up capping will not allow the util_avg value to go wild. But the calculation should have the correct logic.
