No smp_rmb() at read side and I feel it is in migrate_se_pelt_lag()
before this line：
    ‘now = u64_u32_load(rq->clock_pelt_idle);’
The load of cfs_rq->throttled_pelt_idle should be valid before the load
of rq->clock_pelt_idle and rq->enter_idle. This is paired with the write
side in update_idle_cfs_rq_clock_pelt().
