You also need to test (se->exec_start !=0) here because the task might
migrate another time before being scheduled. You should create a
helper function like below and use it in both place

static inline bool entity_long_sleep(se)
{
        struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq;
        u64 sleep_time;

        if (se->exec_start == 0)
                return false;

        cfs_rq = cfs_rq_of(se);
        sleep_time = rq_clock_task(rq_of(cfs_rq)) - se->exec_start;
        if ((s64)sleep_time > 60LL * NSEC_PER_SEC)
                return true;

        return false;
}
