When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update with the return of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the next update_entity_load_avg.
