sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes
One additional 'rule' for using update_cfs_rq_load_avg() is that one should call update_tg_load_avg() if it returns true. Add a bunch of comments to hopefully clarify some of the rules: o You need to update cfs_rq _before_ any entity attach/detach, this is important, because while for mathmatical consisency this isn't strictly needed, it is required for the physical interpretation of the model, you attach/detach _now_. o When you modify the cfs_rq avg, you have to then call update_tg_load_avg() in order to propagate changes upwards. o (Fair) entities are always attached, switched_{to,from}_fair() deal with !fair. This directly follows from the definition of the cfs_rq averages, namely that they are a direct sum of all (runnable or blocked) entities on that rq. It is the second rule that this patch enforces, but it adds comments pertaining to all of them.
