Did you mean that the sched_stat_xxx's xxx_start(sched_stat_sleep
sched_stat_iowait sched_stat_blocked
sched_stat_runtime) may be also depend the schedstat_enabled?
I have searched the codes, and found that these sched_stat_xxx's
xxx_start don't depend the schedstat_enabled
except the wait_start.

This patch is going to slove the problem that when the
schedstat_enabled is enabled, the sched_stat_wait of
the probed process will become unbelievable big probability in the fist time.
