When a cfs rq is throttled, the latter and its child are removed from the leaf list but their nr_running is not changed which includes staying higher than 1. When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can only happens if nr_running == 1. When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be added.
