[PATCH 2/3] sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle

[Odin Ugedal <odin@xxxxxxx>]

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.

This fix change this behavior to save what cfs_rq's was removed from the
list, and readds them properly on unthrottle.

Can often lead to sutiations 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
