I remember the discussion and even if I agree that a large number of taskgroup
increases the number of loop in update_blocked_averages() and as a result the
time spent in the update, I don't think that this is the root cause of
this regression because the patch "sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach"
doesn't add more loops to update_blocked_averages but it adds more thing to do
per loop.

Then, I think I'm still too conservative in the condition for calling 
update_load_avg(cfs_rq->tg->se[cpu], 0). This call has been added to
propagate gcfs_rq->propagate_avg flag to parent so we don't need to call it 
even if load_avg is not null but only when propagate_avg flag is set. The
patch below should improve thing compare to the previous version because
it will call update_load_avg(cfs_rq->tg->se[cpu], 0) only if an asynchrounous
detach happened (propagate_avg is set).

Ying, could you test the patch below instead of the previous one ?

To be honest, I was expecting at least the same level of improvement
as the previous patch if not better but i was not expecting worse
results
