With this said ->

Should we add:
		if (cfs_rq_throttled(local_unthrottle))

before calling into unthrottle_cfs_rq_async(local_unthrottle) to avoid a
potential WARN?

As for whether the local cfs_rq can be unthrottled now after rq lock is
re-acquired, I suppose it can be. e.g. another user sets a new quota to
this task group during the window of rq lock gets dropped in the above
loop and re-acquired here IIUC.
