From: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com>

Now that running entities maintain their own load-averages the work we must do
in update_shares() is largely restricted to the periodic decay of blocked
entities.  This allows us to be a little less pessimistic regarding our
occupancy on rq->lock and the associated rq->clock updates required.
