minor nit:

s/cfs_rw/cfs_rq

The 'detach across' and 'attach across' in detach_task_cfs_rq() and 
attach_entity_cfs_rq() do the same so couldn't you not create a function 
propagate_foo() for it? This would avoid this ifdef as well.

You could further create in your '[PATCH 1/6 v5] sched: factorize attach 
entity':

detach_entity_cfs_rq() {
   update_load_avg()
   detach_entity_load_avg()
   update_tg_load_avg()
   propagate_load_avg()
}

and then we would have:

attach_task_cfs_rq() -> attach_entity_cfs_rq() -> propagate_foo()
detach_task_cfs_rq() -> detach_entity_cfs_rq() -> propagate_foo()

I guess you didn't because it would be only called one time but this 
symmetric approaches are easier to remember (at least for me).
