Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Sched/fair: Improve the accuracy of sched_stat_wait statistics

From: jun qian <qianjun.kernel@...il.com>

When the sched_schedstat changes from 0 to 1, some sched se maybe
already in the runqueue, the se->statistics.wait_start will be 0.
So it will let the (rq_of(cfs_rq)) - se->statistics.wait_start)
wrong. We need to avoid this scenario.
