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.
