I understand what your patch done,

On your CPU4:
scheduler_ipi()
 -> sched_ttwu_pending()
      -> ttwu_do_activate()    => p->sched_remote_wakeup should be
false, so ENQUEUE_WAKEUP is set, ENQUEUE_MIGRATED is not
           -> ttwu_activate()
                -> activate_task()
                     -> enqueue_task()
                          -> enqueue_task_fair()
                               -> enqueue_entity()
                                    bool renorm = !(flags &
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP) || (flags & ENQUEUE_MIGRATE)
so renorm is false in enqueue_entity(), why you mentioned that the
cfs_rq->min_vruntime is still added to the se->vruntime in
enqueue_task_fair()?
