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.

Note that the dequeue path is special, since we normally disallow
migrations when a task is in a throttled hierarchy (see
throttled_lb_pair()).
