sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle

Fix an issue where fairness is decreased since cfs_rq's can end up not
being decayed properly. For two sibling control groups with the same
priority, this can often lead to a load ratio of 99/1 (!!).

This happens because when a cfs_rq is throttled, all the descendant
cfs_rq's will be removed from the leaf list. When they initial cfs_rq
is unthrottled, it will currently only re add descendant cfs_rq's if
they have one or more entities enqueued. This is not a perfect
heuristic.

Instead, we insert all cfs_rq's that contain one or more enqueued
entities, or it its load is not completely decayed.

Can often lead to situations like this for equally weighted control
groups:

  $ ps u -C stress
  USER         PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
  root       10009 88.8  0.0   3676   100 pts/1    R+   11:04   0:13 stress --cpu 1
  root       10023  3.0  0.0   3676   104 pts/1    R+   11:04   0:00 stress --cpu 1
