Yes it's doable.  I also find it's much simpler.
Please find patch v2.  I verified v2 does same job as v1 by comparing sched_stat_wait time with sched_switch - sched_wakeup timestamp.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: fix incorrect wait time and wait count statistics

At present scheduler resets task's wait start timestamp when the task
migrates to another rq.  This misleads scheduler itself into reporting
less wait time than actual by omitting time spent for waiting prior to
migration and also more wait count than actual by counting migration as
wait end event which can be seen by trace or /proc/<pid>/sched with
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y.

Carry forward migrating task's wait time prior to migration and
don't count migration as a wait end event to fix such statistics error.

In order to determine whether task is migrating mark task->on_rq with
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while dequeuing and enqueuing due to migration.

Changes in v2: 
 * Set p->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING while doing migration dequeue/enqueue
   and check whether task's migrating with task_on_rq_migrating().
