sched/fair: Rewrite cfs_rq->removed_*avg Since on wakeup migration we don't hold the rq->lock for the old CPU we cannot update its state. Instead we add the removed 'load' to an atomic variable and have the next update on that CPU collect and process it. Currently we have 2 atomic variables; which already have the issue that they can be read out-of-sync. Also, two atomic ops on a single cacheline is already more expensive than an uncontended lock. Since we want to add more, convert the thing over to an explicit cacheline with a lock in.
