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:

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
Changes since v3:
- (hopefully) Fix config for !CONFIG_SMP
Changes since v4:
- Move cfs_rq_is_decayed again

sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle
Fix 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 happens 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:
