[PATCH] sched/fair.c: Fix the calculation method of 'lag' to ensure that the vlag of the task after placement is the same as before.

I think the 'lag' calculation here is inaccurate.

Assume that delta needs to be subtracted from v_i to ensure that the
vlag of task i after placement is the same as before. At this time, the
vlag of task i after placement should be:
vl'_i = V' - (v_i - delta)

>From the above formula, we know that vl'_i should be:
vl'_i = (vl_i * W)/(W + w_i)

That is to say:
V' - (v_i - delta) = (vl_i * W)/(W + w_i)

For a newly added entity, generally set v_i to V', and the above formula
can be converted into:
V' - (V' - delta) = (vl_i * W)/(W + w_i)

Therefore the value of delta should be as follows, where delta is the
'lag' in the code.
delta = (vl_i * W)/(W + w_i)
