sched: Fix sign under-flows in wake_affine
While care is taken around the zero-point in effective_load to not exceed the instantaneous rq->weight, it's still possible (e.g. using wake_idx != 0) for (load + effective_load) to underflow. In this case the comparing the unsigned values can result in incorrect balanced decisions.
