So you're running with:

9e077b52d86a - sched/pelt: Check that *_avg are null when *_sum are
(2021-06-17 Vincent Guittot)

but not with:

ceb6ba45dc80 - sched/fair: Sync load_sum with load_avg after dequeue
(2021-07-02 Vincent Guittot)

The SCHED_WARN_ON you're hitting is harmless and just tells you that the
PELT load_avg and load_sum part of one of your cfs_rq's is not aligned.
Has to be load (and not util or runnable) since load is the only one
still not fixed in f55966571d5e.

This should go away once you applied ceb6ba45dc80.
