So the scaling is: vlag = vlag * old_Weight / weight

But given that integer devision is truncating, you could expect repeated
application of such scaling would eventually decrease the vlag instead
of grow it.

Is there perhaps an invocation of reweight_task() missing? Looking at
set_load_weight() I'm suspicious of the task_has_idle_policy() case.
