This fixes an issue where fairness is decreased since cfs_rq's can
end up not being decayed properly. For two sibling control groups with
the same priority, this can often lead to a load ratio of 99/1 (!!).
This happen because when a cfs_rq is throttled, all the descendant cfs_rq's
will be removed from the leaf list. When they initial cfs_rq is
unthrottled, it will currently only re add descendant cfs_rq's if they
have one or more entities enqueued. This is not a perfect heuristic.
Instead, we insert all cfs_rq's that contain one or more enqueued
entities, or it its load is not completely decayed.
Can often lead to situations like this for equally weighted control
groups:
$ ps u -C stress
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 10009 88.8 0.0 3676 100 pts/1 R+ 11:04 0:13 stress --cpu 1
root 10023 3.0 0.0 3676 104 pts/1 R+ 11:04 0:00 stress --cpu 1

Original thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
Changes since v1:
- Replaced cfs_rq field with using tg_load_avg_contrib
- Went from 3 to 1 patches; one is merged and one is replaced
by a new patchset.
Changes since v2:
- Use !cfs_rq_is_decayed() instead of tg_load_avg_contrib
- Moved cfs_rq_is_decayed to above its new use
