commit 02da26ad5ed6ea8680e5d01f20661439611ed776 upstream.
During the update of fair blocked load (__update_blocked_fair()), we update the contribution of the cfs in tg->load_avg if cfs_rq's pelt has decayed. Nevertheless, the pelt values of a cfs_rq could have been recently updated while propagating the change of a child. In this case, cfs_rq's pelt will not decayed because it has already been updated and we don't update tg->load_avg.
__update_blocked_fair ... for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe: child cfs_rq update cfs_rq_load_avg() for child cfs_rq ... update_load_avg(cfs_rq_of(se), se, 0) ... update cfs_rq_load_avg() for parent cfs_rq -propagation of child's load makes parent cfs_rq->load_sum becoming null -UPDATE_TG is not set so it doesn't update parent cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib .. for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe: parent cfs_rq update cfs_rq_load_avg() for parent cfs_rq - nothing to do because parent cfs_rq has already been updated recently so cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib is not updated ... parent cfs_rq is decayed list_del_leaf_cfs_rq parent cfs_rq - but it still contibutes to tg->load_avg
we must set UPDATE_TG flags when propagting pending load to the parent
