Since task utilization is accrued only on the root cfs_rq, there are a
couple of places where the se has to be synced with the root cfs_rq:

(1) The root cfs_rq has to be updated in attach_entity_load_avg() for
    an se representing a task in a tg other than the root tg before
    the se utilization can be added to it.

(2) The last_update_time value of the root cfs_rq can be higher
    than the one of the cfs_rq the se is enqueued in. Call
    __update_load_avg() on the se with the last_update_time value of
    the root cfs_rq before removing se's utilization from the root
    cfs_rq in [remove|detach]_entity_load_avg().

In case the difference between the last_update_time value of the cfs_rq
and the root cfs_rq is smaller than 1024ns, the additional calls to
__update_load_avg() will bail early.

Maybe add below macro in this patch for more readable:
#define upd_util_cfs_rq(cfs_rq) XXX

Sorry, this doesn't belong here since the macro is only introduced in
3/3. Should be 'root_cfs_rq->curr != NULL' here instead.

The main issue with flat utilization is that we can't keep the
sched_avg on an sched_entity synced (from a last_update_time pov) with
both the cfs_rq on which load is attached and the root_cfs rq on which
the utilization is attached.

With this additional sync to root cfs_rq in
attach/detach_entity_load_avg and in remove_entity_load_avg, the load
of a sched_entity is no more synced to the time stamp of cfs_rq onto
which it is attached. This  can generate several wrong update of the
load of the latter.
As an example, lets take a task TA that sleeps and move it on TGB
which has not run recently so TGB.avg.last_update_time << root
cfs_rq.avg.last_update_time (a decay of 20ms remove 35% of the load)
When we attach TA to TGB, TA is sync with TGB for attaching it and
then decayed to be synced with root cfs_rq.
If TA is then moved to another task group, we try to sync TA to TGB
but TA is in the future so TA.avg.last_update_time is set to TGB one.
Then, TA load is removed to TGB but TA load has been decayed so only a
part will be effectively subtracted. Then, TA load is synced with root
cfs_rq which means decayed one more time for the same time slot
because TA.avg.last_update_time has been reset to
TGB.avg.last_update_time so we will substract less utilization than
what we should in root cfs_rq.

I think that similar behavior can apply with the removed load.
