Yep.

No, this is related to inactive_task_timer() callback. Since the task is
migrated (by this function calling set_task_cpu()) because a CPU hotplug
operation happened, we need to reflect this w.r.t. running_bw, or
inactive_task_timer() might sub from the new CPU and cause running_bw to
underflow.
