Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 204/606] sched/fair: Fix reordering of enqueue/dequeue_task_fair()

From: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@...aro.org>

[ Upstream commit 5ab297bab984310267734dfbcc8104566658ebef ]

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.

The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.

Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.
