I tried to find why the regression happens only for v5.4.y (or lower)
and not for v5.15.y (or above) but I haven't been able to find any
possible reason in the code.

Regarding the 2 commits below, they must come together so we can't
simply revert 1 and not the other.
commit 829c1651e9c4 sched/fair: sanitize vruntime of entity being placed
commit a53ce18cacb4 sched/fair: Sanitize vruntime of entity being migrated

entity_is_long_sleeper() should never return true in your case. Could
you try to check that it's the case for you ?
