Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched: don't account throttle time for empty groups

It is easy for a cfs_rq to become throttled even when it has no enqueued
entities (for example, if we have just put_prev()'d the last runnable
task of the cfs_rq, and the cfs_rq is out of quota).

Avoid accounting this time towards total throttle time, since it
otherwise falsely inflates the stats.
